Well, the flu season is upon us. Our house is seeing its first round of colds.
Chicken Soup is one of Ryan’s favorite foods and is a wonderful comfort food when you are not feeling well. I thought it might be fun to post our favorite Chicken Soup recipe.
Chicken Soup
3-4 boneless, skinless Chicken breasts (depending on size of breasts)
10 Cups water
½ Cup chopped Onion
½ teaspoons Salt
½ teaspoon Thyme leaves crushed
6 Pepper Corns or ¼ teaspoon pepper
1 Tablespoon Chicken Bouillon paste
1 Cup thinly sliced Celery
1 Cup thinly sliced Carrots
½ Cup uncooked White Rice OR 2 Big hand full Wide Egg Noodles
In 5qt Stock Pot combine chicken and water. Bring to boil. Skim off scum that rises to the surface. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 15 minutes. Add bouillon paste, onion, salt, thyme and peppercorns. (Do Not let pot come to Rolling Boil) Simmer covered for 35-45 minutes. Remove Pepper Corns and Chicken from broth, let chicken cool until cool enough to cut into bite size pieces. Bring broth to a boil, as soon as comes to a boil add chicken, carrots, celery and Noodles OR Rice. Reduce heat and simmer 20-30 minutes or until vegetables are done.
Enjoy!!!
