Chicken Noodle Soup

Open one can of chicken noodle soup.  Pour into pot.  Add one can of water….  No?

All right, I’ll give you the real McCoy

I generally start with precooked chicken.  If you want to start with raw I’ll be glad to discuss it.  Otherwise we start with the cooked bird.

In a pot slightly larger than the amount of soup you want, put in either pre-made broth or water and enough bullion to taste slightly salty.  Bring to a boil.  Toss in onions and chopped celery, chicken pieces, and noodles.  Season to taste.  I like a pinch of sage, and a little black pepper.  Grated carrots can be pretty good too.  Simmer for about 15 minutes or until noodles are the way you like them.

I recommend freezing a little of this so that you can simply microwave it on those days when you need it for medicinal purposes, because if you leave it up to your family to provide, you’ll end up with the canned stuff.  At least I did.
