Chicken Soup Noodles

Chicken Soup Noodles, without the broth....who thunk it? So SMART!

I love a big bowl of noodles and the people who eat my dinners do as well. I threw this together super speedy, everyone ate it, and no one complained...WAHOOO!!!

I ate all the leftovers happily.

Can't ask for more then that

Chicken Soup Noodles

borrowed from Pinch of Yum

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil

3 large carrots, peeled and sliced thinly

3 celery stalks, sliced thinly

3/4 cup chopped onion

49 ounces chicken broth (about 6 cups)

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1/3 cup cold water

1 lb. package egg noodles

2 tablespoons butter

2 teaspoon thyme

2 teaspoon parsley

2 cups cooked, shredded chicken--I used rotisserie

3-4 green onions, thinly sliced (I omitted since my kids would not eat)

Instructions

Heat 1 tbs. olive oil in a large soup pot over medium high heat. Add the vegetables and saute until tender crisp, about 3-5 minutes, depending on how thinly they are sliced. Add chicken broth to the pot and simmer for about 20 minutes.

Dissolve the cornstarch in the cold water. Add mixture to the broth. Add the noodles and bring to a rolling boil. Check noodles every few minutes and remove from heat when noodles are mostly cooked. The noodles will continue to soften after you stop the boiling. If you boil for too long, they’ll get mushy and break apart easily.

Add butter and herbs and stir to combine. Mix in chicken and season with salt and pepper. Mixture will thicken slightly as it cools; there should be enough of a thick broth to cover everything but not enough to be runny. Stir in green onions just before serving.
