Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup (and Printable Recipe)

I've tested out a few new meal ideas this winter, and today's recipe for Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup was a hit with my family. I loved how easy it was to throw together in a pot, and the leftovers made for great lunches the rest of the week. Keep reading for the online recipe and a free printable recipe!

Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup
adapted from allrecipes.com

Ingredients:

4 cups chicken (chopped and cooked)
1 cup chopped celery
1/4 cup chopped carrots
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup butter
2 boxes of chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 bay leaf
1 Tablespoon dried parsley
8 ounces egg noodles

(Note: The recipe originally called for bullion, but the store didn't have any bullion (??!), so I opted for two boxes of chicken broth. I also hate chopping onions, so I just added onion flakes)

Instructions:

1. Saute the onion and celery in butter in a large stock pot.
2. Add the cooked chicken with the carrots, marjoram, pepper, carrots, parsley, bay leaf, and 1 box of chicken broth. Simmer for 30 minutes.
3. Add the noodles. If you used a large bag of noodles (my store only had the large bag), add more broth to make up for the extra noodles. Simmer 10 to 12 more minutes.

Tastes great served with a side of crusty French bread!
