Betty’s Comforting Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe
By
In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make her husband’s favorite chicken noodle soup. It’s hearty, but not heavy in fat and calories. It makes a nice lunch, but can be used as a complete dinner!
Ingredients:
2 chicken breast halves, cooked and chunked (This may be leftover chicken, or you may cook fresh breasts in 2 tablespoons butter or margarine on top of stove, and chop it up.)
2 tablespoons butter or margarine (for vegetables)
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped carrots
1/2 cup chopped celery
2 cans (about 14 oz. to 15 oz. each) chicken broth
1 1/2 cups medium-sized egg noodles, uncooked
salt and pepper to taste
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter or margarine in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 cup chopped onion, 1 cup chopped carrots, and 1/2 cup chopped celery. Saute for about 10 minutes, until the onions and celery are clear, and the carrots are soft. Add the chunked chicken, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the chicken/vegetable mixture to a medium to large pot. Add 2 cans of chicken broth, and 1 1/2 cups of uncooked noodles. Place over medium heat, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover pot with a lid, and simmer about 15 minutes, until the noodles are cooked through and all the flavors are blended. Ladle soup into individual serving bowls. Serve with saltine crackers. Guaranteed to make you feel better, if you are feeling under the weather!

I haven’t posted many fish items–just tuna melt, grilled salmon, and crab cakes (not really fish!). I really need to do some restaurant-style baked or fried fish. Thanks for the idea! And, I hope other people who post pick up on the idea, too! Thanks for commenting!–Betty

Such a simple yet …
Such a simple yet affective meal,….over here in England,it’s difficult to buy stock in cans,so I make my own (MUCH cheaper than buying those expensive French packets,and a good tip,…the stock you have leftover,..place in ice trays,they make excellent stock cubes for future use:-) I made this Chicken noodle soup last night and had a whole French stick to mop up the liquid,and I have to say,I was thoroughly satisfied.Thanks for showing us how to make a simple,yet hearty soup Betty
