I love chicken noodle soup. I am not talking about that Campbell's stuff. The chicken in there grosses me out so bad and the noodles are so slimy. Bleck!
I am talking about a good, homemade chicken noodle soup.
Since it has been a little cooler here in ol' Texas, I decided soup would be the perfect meal to eat on for a few days!
This is my favorite recipe (you know it's good since it's a Paula Deen recipe) and with some modifications, it is really easy to make and can be ready in less than an hour.
Here is what you'll need:
and forgot to put these in the picture...
-3 quarts chicken stock
-1 rotisserie chicken, shredded and de-boned
-2 cups sliced carrots
-2 cups sliced celery, with leafy green tops
-2 1/2 cups uncooked whole grain egg noodles
-3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
-1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
-3/4 cup heavy cream (optional)
-1/3 cup cooking sherry
-1 cup sliced mushrooms
-salt
-freshly ground black pepper to taste
Bring stock to a boil, add carrots, and cook for 3 minutes. Add celery and continue to cook for 5 to 10 minutes. Add egg noodles and cook according to directions on package. When noodles are done, add chicken, mushrooms, and sherry. Add Parmesan and cream, if using. Cook for another 2 minutes. Adjust seasoning, if needed, by adding salt and pepper. Enjoy along with a nice hot crusty loaf of French bread.
**The original recipe calls for buying a whole chicken and making your own chicken stock, but I find it much easier to buy a rotisserie chicken and then buy some good chicken stock to use. The Kitchen Basics brand is my favorite and the only kind I have used for this soup. It never disappoints! Much better than Swanson in my opinion.
The best part is dipping the french bread in the delicious broth. Of course the heavy cream gives it a wonderful creaminess. I suppose if you wanted to be healthy you could do without the cream and the bread, but I don't know why anyone would want to do that. Just go run a mile or two after eating it. It's worth it!
Make this for your family or make it to take to a friend! It makes enough to feed you and some friends!

so delish! I really miss noodles and can't find any gluten free ones! I haven't been blogging or reading blogs- just too busy of late.
