Chicken Noodle Soup

Anyone who knows me well knows that I love soup.  It is one of my favorite things to eat and cook.  It is easy and quick and you can freeze it and it's good left over.  Love it.  Homemade chicken noodle soup is by far my favorite soup.  It is just so good.  And so, so easy.  My family gets sick of it because I make it often in the fall and winter.

Chicken Noodle Soup

3 chicken breasts

4 t chicken bouillon or 4 bouillon cubes

1 c chopped celery

1 c sliced carrots

1 c diced potatoes (because it's Idaho!!)

1 c chopped onion

1 T butter

1 t minced garlic

1/2 t salt

pinch of black pepper

12 oz frozen egg noodles (Reame's brand is by far the best)

Place in crock pot with 4 cups of water.  Add more broth if needed as it cooks. Cook on low 8-10 hours, removing chicken and shredding 10 minutes before serving.  

Cook noodles according to package directions on the stove top and add before serving.

Notes:

This soup freezes well.  Add all ingredients but potatoes and noodles to freezer bag and freeze. To cook, add to crock pot with 4 c water and 1 c diced potatoes.  Cook on low 8-10 hours. Shred chicken and add cooked noodles to serve.

I will often serve the soup over mashed potatoes instead of adding potatoes to the soup. This is a family favorite.

This doubles well and is great left over.
