Chicken Noodle Soup

Everyone in my family will eat this one - even my now 4-year old picky Ellie!  Of course, she'll just pick out the pasta and carrots, but I'm fine with that.  Serve with a good crusty 100% whole wheat bread.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped celery
  • 4 (14.5 ounce) cans reduced sodium chicken broth
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can reduced sodium vegetable broth
  • 1/2 pound chopped cooked chicken breast (rotisserie chicken works great!)
  • 1 1/2 cups egg noodles (or any fun noodle - try whole wheat pasta for extra goodness)
  • 1 cup sliced carrots
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • salt and pepper to taste (I don't add salt)

Directions

  1. In a large pot over medium heat, heat olive oil. Cook onion and celery in oil until just tender, 5 minutes. Pour in chicken and vegetable broths and stir in chicken, noodles, carrots, basil, oregano, (salt) and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes before serving.
