This is an easy, nutritious comfort food that can be made in less than 30 minutes. Pop some whole wheat muffins in the oven while it's boiling and make it a meal!
Ingredients
olive oil
1/2 large onion
2 stalks celery (optional)
1 tsp minced garlic (optional)
6 good sized carrots (we prefer a lot of carrots, feel free to reduce this)
8-9 C water
1 TB better than bouillon (or 3-4 cubes/tsp of whatever you use)
1.5 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1.5-2 C your favorite uncooked noodles (we like mini penne)
2 C cooked chicken, shredded or cubed
1 tsp basil
1 tsp oregano
Directions
Add a bit of olive oil to a large pan and heat. Add the onion and celery, and a few minutes later the garlic and carrots. Then add the water, bouillon, salt, and pepper.
Once the carrots have softened most of the way (5-10 min), add the noodles and cook as long as the directions say.
Add the cooked chicken, basil, and oregano at the end and adjust seasonings to taste. If it's too strong, add more water. If it's not strong enough, try adding another tsp bouillon and/or another tsp salt until it tastes amazing. You really can't go wrong with this soup if you follow this last step of adjusting the seasonings. My husband also likes to sprinkle some dried dill in his bowl.
