Chicken Noodle Soup
I went to the doctor today, and she asked why my blood sugars have been spiking so much. I explained to her that currently we are trying to save money so I have resorted to the dollar menu and burger king...
This did not go over well at all, first she looked at me like I was a tad crazy, then she kind of shook her head and asked me, "Have you tried sandwiches?" I replied with a hasty ehhhh. Then she asked, "How about soups? Make one huge pot at the end of the week and just bring small portions to work."
This turned out to be a great idea, I made it out of the store for under $30.00 and that included a pack of smokes (which I shouldn't buy) and a 12 pack of diet Mountain Dew. (Shut up I love that stuff)
I got the recipe from here: AllRecipes.com
Ingredients
- 4 cups chopped, cooked chicken meat
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 1/4 cup chopped carrots
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 1/4 cup butter
- 8 ounces egg noodles
- 12 cups water
- 9 cubes chicken bouillon
- 1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
Directions
- In a large stock pot, saute celery and onion in butter or margarine.
- Add chicken, carrots, water, bouillon cubes, marjoram, black pepper, bay leaf, and parsley. Simmer for 30 minutes.
- Add noodles, and simmer for 10 more minutes.
But this is what I did different.
1. I bought 1 whole chicken and boiled it for 4 hours removed the bones, and shredded the meat.
2. I used a table spoon of garlic.
3. I cut the crap outta myself chopping the onion.
