It was cool briefly, then got unseasonably hot, and now it's cool again, just in time for us to make the chicken noodle soup we'd planned.
Chicken noodle soup hardly needs a recipe, but this was awesome, so I might as well share.
1 32-ounce box low-sodium chicken broth (or make your own)
3-4 cups water
1-2 medium white or yellow onions
2 teaspoons oil
2 cloves garlic
1/4 pound celery (use leaves and tops)
1/2 pound carrots
1/4 pound egg noodles (or make your own)
1 pound cooked chicken, chopped or shredded
Seasonings to taste (I used black pepper, marjoram or thyme, parsley, and nutmeg)
Put oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot. Rough-chop onions, mince garlic, stir in oil to coat, and cook over medium-high heat until lightly browned. Allow to cool and add chicken broth and water.
Peel and slice carrots. Add to broth
Scrub celery and cut into 1/4-inch slices, leaves and all. Add to broth.
Cube or shred chicken. Add to broth.
Heat to medium or medium-high and allow to simmer until vegetables are done to taste (I like mine a little firm). Add noodles and seasonings and cook until noodles are done.
Enjoy!
Mom likes her soup with more liquid than I do, so she added another 15-ounce can of broth. It's up to you.
