Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup



Let’s make some “Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup". Homemade soup is way better than canned. Canned soup also can be high in sodium unless you buy low sodium canned soup. However, low sodium canned soups are not tasty and might be high in fat. It's easy to make your own soup.

Cooking Tips:

Making homemade soup is a great way to get more vegetables into your diet. You can add whole-grain products such as wild rice and barley in soups.

Ingredients

*1 1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken
* 4 cups chicken stock, homemade or you can buy chicken broth
* 1/2 yellow onion, diced
* 1/4 carrot, diced
* 3/4 cup diced celery
* 3 garlic cloves, minced
* 2 ounces dried egg noodles, cook according to directions on package
* Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
* 1 rosemary leaves

How to cook

1. Bring stock to boil for 2 minutes in a large, non-reactive stockpot with lid on, over high heat.
2. Add chicken, onion, carrot, celery, and garlic. Lower heat and simmer for 2 minutes.
3. Add noodles and cook 5 more minutes.
4. Remove from heat and add salt and pepper, to taste.
5. Serve with rosemary leaves if desired.
