So I've had a cold that has been seriously kicking my butt, I was on my way home, tired, and hungry. I really wanted chicken noodle soup, but was debating between the disgusting canned stuff, or homemade, and debating on if I felt well enough to take on such a task.

I opted for homemade, and it turned out amazing!

You Will Need (5 things)

  • Spices
  • Shredded Chicken
  • Celery
  • Carrot(s)
  • Veggie or Chicken Bullion

Steps (6 steps, 20 minutes)

  1. 1

    Assemble your Ingredients.
    I am a person who doesn't measure anything when I cook, it's always just to taste.

    Shredded Chicken (I actually discovered that one of my local stores carries this in the deli, it was a little more expensive, but I didn't care. Saved me the trouble of shredding a day old rotisserie chicken myself!)
    Carrots - I used half a bag of baby carrots chopped into bite sized pieces
    Celery- One stalk
    Peas & Corn - Both were the frozen remnants in my freezer. Less than half a bag each.

    When going to cut your veggies, try not to some how fling your cutting board across the kitchen, it may possibly result in a broken cutting board, and a friends hysterical laughter.

  2. 2

    Saute celery and carrots in Soup pot with some olive oil. Just for a couple of minutes. Unless you want your veggies to be mush. I'm partial to not mush.

    Add your spices.

    I used

    Black Pepper
    Thyme
    Marjoram
    Garlic Powder

    Don't add salt! Unless you're using unsalted Bouillon.

  3. 3

    Add water. I used about 5 cups, and two bouillon cubes, one Veggie, one chicken.

    Bring to a boil.
    While I was waiting for it to boil, I went ahead and added the chicken, though it may work best to add it last.

  4. 4

    When water is boiling, add noddles of your choice. All I had was spaghetti noodles.

    Cook following noodle directions

  5. 5

    Add frozen peas and corn (I actually had defrosted them in a cup of hot water while everything was cooking, I don't know why, I was sick, it made sense at the time)

  6. 6

    TA-DA enjoy some tasty Chicken Noodle Soup!

    After the first serving, I ended up having to add a bit more water.
