Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup

Chicken Noodle Soup is my jam.

When it's cold outside and I'm watching my favorite show,
a hot bowl of chicken noodle soup is the key ingredient to a perfect night.

I've always been a canned soup type of gal. They are quick, easy and delicious.

But I've been trying out new recipes and decided it was time to give homemade chicken noodle soup a whirl.

Here's what I used:

1. Rotisserie Chicken - It's always my go to when I'm making fajitas, chicken & dumplings, stir fry,
or anything that uses sliced chicken. It makes life SO much easier. 

2. Egg Noodles - I used medium, but I don't think size matters.

3. Chicken Bouillon Cubes - I used around 7.

4. 1 can of Sliced Carrots

5. Parsley Flakes

Here's what you do:

1. Using a large pot, add water until it's about 2/3 full. If I had to take a rough estimate, I would guess it was about 8-10 cups. 

2. Add the bouillon cubes and bring a boil. 

3. Once it's boiling, add the noodles and cook for 8 minutes.

4. Add the carrots and chicken and cook for another 5 minutes. This is just to heat up the already cooked carrots and chicken.

5. Give it a taste test to see if you need to add any additional bouillon cubes or if it's just right.
I also added some salt and pepper for taste.

6. Sprinkle parsley flakes on the top & serve. 

This meal is incredibly easy and cheap to make. Plus, it makes enough for so many meals!

I've had it every day this week for lunch AND a few dinners.

I understand not everyone can do that, but I'm a creature of habit.

Last night, I gave some to my Nephew because he was feeling a little under the weather. 

Landyn, smile for the camera if you liked Aunt Stephy's chicken noodle soup. 

& there ya have it folks. This kid was a happy camper ;)

If I wasn't going to stuff my face at Chipotle today with Kate & Whitney, 

you could bet your bottom dollar that I would be happily having more soup!

My boyfriend doesn't classify soup as a dinner so we made him a grilled cheese on the side. Problem solved! 

I hope you enjoy it!
