Quick Chicken Noodle Soup image

From "The Best Freezer Cookbook". This is a very simple soup. My kids actually prefer it with no carrots or peas. Just chicken and noodles. I find the noodles I use in the kosher section of my supermarket.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons butter
1 cup diced carrot
4 green onions, sliced
5 cups chicken broth
1 bay leaf
salt and pepper
4 ounces very thin egg noodles
1 cup diced cooked chicken
1/2 cup frozen peas

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
  • Add carrots and cook for 3 minutes.
  • Add green onions then broth, bayleaf, salt and pepper.
  • Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 5 minutes or until carrots are almost done.
  • Bring back to a boil and add noodles, chicken and peas.
  • Simmer for 5 minutes or until noodles are tender.
  • Remove bay leaf and taste for seasoning.
  • Serve.
  • To freeze: I freeze this by adding the chicken and peas in step 5 but not adding the noodles until I reheat it. They tend to absorb a lot of the broth. You can add them before freezing, just add more broth upon thawing and heating. Cool, ladle into freezer containers. Seal, label and freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Thaw in microwave or overnight in the fridge.
