Chicken Noodle Soup

If there is one thing that my daughter will eat for sure is soup. Any kind of soup, it must be the broth. This was something that my husband added to a list that he is making of meals that he wants me to make again in his palm pilot (AKA his memory). It is easy and really any vegatable you have on hand will more than likely work. The ones listed just happen to be the ones I have on hand right now.


Ingredients:

10 cups water
4 chicken boullion cubes
1 T Mrs. Dash
1 t parsley
1 t black pepper
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
4 T Extra Virgin olive oil
1/4 large onion, diced
1 Cup Carrots, chopped
1/2 Cup snap peas, chopped
1 1/2 stalk celery, diced
1/4 Cup brocoli, chopped
1 small handful of whole wheat spagetti noodles broken into fourths.



Directions:

In a large soup pot add water, boullion, and spices. Cook on high. In a skillet on medium high sear chicken breasts in 2 Tablespoons olive oil, 6 minutes each side. While chicken is searing prepare vegetables and add to soup pot. When Chicken is done searing remove from pan. Chop chicken into 1/2 inch squares and add to soup pot. Add 1 cup of broth from soup pot into hot skillet for one minute. Add liquid back into soup pot and add final 2 Tablespoons of olive oil to soup. Lower heat to medium high and cover soup. Cook for 1 hour. During final 20 minutes add noodles to soup. When everything is cooked and done; Enjoy!
