Almost Instant Chicken Noodle Soup
This is my go to chicken noodle soup when someone in the house wakes up feeling not so well. It is super quick and easy, and I almost always have these ingredients on hand. Of course there are many recipes for Chicken Noodle Soup and some are very lengthy and require hours. I like this one for its simplicity and because I can have it on the table in under 30 minutes.
1 cooked boneless, skinless Chicken Breast, chopped into bite size chunks (poached, baked, "nuked", whatever)
1 clove of garlic
salt and pepper to taste
1 Tbs Parsley
1 large carrot, peeled and sliced in thin coins
1 rib of celery, sliced (or 1/4 tsp Celery Seed)
2 cans Chicken Broth
3 cups water
2 Chicken Bouillon cubes
8 0z Bow-tie (Farfalle) Pasta
1/8 tsp onion powder (or 1 shallot, minced)
Over medium high heat, add water, bouillon, broth, garlic, onion powder, carrot, celery, and chicken. Stir occasionally to break up the bouillon cubes and bring to a boil. Add pasta and parsley. Cook approximately 7-10 minutes until pasta is al dente and the vegetables are tender. Salt and pepper to taste.
Serve warm with crackers (if desired)
