Comfort in a Bowl

A big bowl of chicken noodle soup is the most comforting thing. There is nothing better than a big bowl on a cold day, or when you are sick, or when you just needed cheering up. Philip had his wisdom teeth out and one of the things he requested a few days after surgery was this soup. The recipe is from one of my most favorite people in the world. I remember years ago, when there was a death in our family, she made this for my family. She sent me the recipe a while ago and I have made it MANY times since then.

2-3 boneless skinless chicken breasts

1 tsp black pepper

1 tablespoon chicken bouillon or cubes

1 small onion, chopped

2 carrots, chopped

1 bag frozen Reames' Noodles

Directions:

Fill a Dutch oven pan with water and add chicken breasts, black pepper and chicken bouillon. Boil until chicken breasts are cooked through. Remove chicken breasts and shred. Add celery, onion, carrots and celery leaves to the dutch oven (with the cooking liquid in it). Add the shredded chicken and Mrs. Grass's noodle soup. Let cook for at least an hour. Then add Reames' noodles and cook for another 30 minutes.

Add a can of chicken broth or more seasonings if it needs more flavor.
