Feeling sick? Easy Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup


 ...It is that time of the year when we all need some tasty chicken noodle soup to cure the cold and flu bugs that are going around! If your mom isn't near to wait on you hand and foot, this is the perfect alternative!

Ingredients:
  • 1/2 Rotisserie Chicken from the grocery store--shredded off of the bone (You can freeze the other half of the chicken for the next batch! I also put the skin in the broth and remove it before serving for some extra flavor.)
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped celery
  • 1 cup sliced carrots (thin, round)
  • 4 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can vegetable broth
  • 2 cups egg noodles
  • Italian Seasonings --to taste! 
  • Salt and Pepper--to taste!
In a large pot over medium heat, melt butter. Cook onion and celery in butter until just tender, 5 minutes. Pour in chicken and vegetable broths and stir in chicken, noodles, carrots, basil, oregano, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes before serving. 

You can freeze the leftovers in individual Ziplock bags and reheat for lunch or the next time that you are sick!

GET WELL SOON!! (If you're sick...) <3
