Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup

This needs no introduction...

You'll need:
  1. 2 tbsp extra vigin olive oil
  2. 1 cup onion, chopped
  3. 1 cup carrots, sliced
  4. 1 cup celery, sliced
  5. 3 tspn minced garlic, from a jar (if fresh, use 5-6 tspn)
  6. 2 tbsp flour
  7. 1/2 tspn oregano
  8. 1 tspn thyme
  9. 1/4 tspn poultry seasoning
  10. 64 oz chicken broth
  11. 1/2 a rotisserie chicken (portion of dark and portion of light meat), diced or shredded
  12. 6 oz egg noodles
  13. Salt, optional (I don't use salt because the poultry seasoning and chicken usually have enough salt for my liking)

You'll do:

  1. Heat oil over medium-high heat in large pot.
  2. Add onion, celery, carrots, and garlic and sautee for about 5 minutes.
  3. Add flour and seasonings, mix well.
  4. Just after stirring in spices and flour, add chicken broth (and salt if desired).
  5. Allow soup to reach a boil and then reduce heat to low.
  6. Cook for 15 minutes, cover and cook 15 more minutes.
  7. Add chicken and egg noodles, and cook another 15 minutes (or until noodles are tender).

Serve with cheese toast or grilled cheese and gobble it up!

Enjoy!
