Chicken Noodle Soup From Scratch

The freezing nights of winter are the best nights to sit down to a hot steaming bowl of soup! Chicken Noodle Soup tastes great even when you are not feeling sick. Something about that rich golden broth swimming with tasty noodles, chunks of chicken & vegetables makes this soup true comfort food! Go ahead and pamper yourself with this easy to make American tradition!
2 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast
Water
2, 2lb Containers Chicken Broth
1 Onion Chopped
2 TSP Minced Garlic
2 TBS Chopped Parsley or Parsley Flakes 
4 Ribs Celery Sliced on the diagonal
3 Large Carrots sliced into coins
1, 1lb Bag of Kluski Noodles ( or your favorite Egg Noodle but Kluski are so GREAT!)
Salt to taste

Simmer chicken in a large pot with enough water to cover the chicken about 3 inches over the top of the chicken. Add about 1 tsp. salt. Simmer until chicken is cooked about 1/2 hour. Remove chicken from the pot. Let cool. Into the broth from the cooked chicken add the containers of broth, the onion & garlic & the celery & carrots. Cook until carrots are tender. Now add the chicken that you cut into nice sized pieces, & the noodles. Cook until noodles are cooked through about 20 minutes. Taste & then add more salt IF needed! Serve up steaming hot! This makes a big pot of soup enough for about 6 to 8 people BUT this soup is even better the next day! ENJOY & BOWL OF DELICIOUS!

  1. Hi Judy - I just want to say "Thank You" for the wonderful recipe for the Chicken Noodle Soup. I made this today and my daughter came home from working today. She wasn't thrilled that I made soup, but once she tasted it, she was in love with it. She said that I'm not allowed to make anything else except this when it comes to soup!!
