Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup

Soups are my favorite this time of year in Michigan. I just made this one for myself and a batch for a coworker and her family!

What You'll Need:

2 tablespoons of olive oil

2 medium carrots peeled and sliced

1 stalk of celery sliced

1/2 onion pureed or diced small

2 teaspoons of minced garlic

80 ounces of chicken broth or stock

1 lb of boneless, skinless, chicken breasts cut in to bit sized pieces

1 teaspoon of parsley

1/4 teaspoon of thyme

8 ounces of spaghetti broken in to pieces

What You'll Need to Do:

Melt olive oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat.

Add carrots, celery, and onion, Cook , stirring, until carrots and celery are tender (about 4 minutes).

Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant (about 1 minute).

Add chicken broth, chicken breast pieces, parsley, and thyme.

Continue to cook, stirring often until it comes to a boil.

Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes

Add pasta and cook for 7-8 minutes or until al dente.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

ENJOY!

To speed up the process and make prep easier I used the following products: minced garlic in a jar, parsley flakes, thyme flakes, and canned, slice carrots.
