Chicken Noodle Soup

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Get a big soup pot on the stove and bring it up to medium-high heat.
  2. Put some oil in the pot and once heated, put the chicken in, it should sizzle. Sprinkle some salt and pepper on top of it, don't go crazy here, you'll season more later.
  3. Let cook about 3 minutes, then flip, it should be nice and browned.
  4. Let cook for another 3ish minutes.
  5. Throw all the veggies in and stir about. Cook a couple minutes, stirring a couple times.
  6. Put in the butter and chicken base, let it melt for a bit, stir some more.
  7. Put in the water, make sure to scrape the bottom of your pan for all the cooked cripsy bits. That's all flavor! Don't use a metal spoon though on glazed ceramic or non-stick, it'll ruin your pot.
  8. Toss in all the spices and stir.
  9. Allow to cook and bring to a gentle boil for 10 minutes.
  10. Give it a taste, add spices as needed and more chicken base. If it's slightly watery, that should be ok, the noodles will soak up a lot of water! So don't over salt or do, it's your soup.
  11. Bring down to a gentle simmer.
  12. Pull out the chicken and shred it or chop it up to bite size pieces.
  13. Throw that chicken back into the soup
  14. Put in the noodles and cook according to the directions. You might have to bring it up to a boil again. It'll be fine.
  15. Once the noodles are cooked, test the flavor and adjust as needed.
  16. All done, serve!
