10 Minute Chicken Noodle Soup

Today we are making 10 minute Chicken Soup. The reason that it only took 10 minutes was because we had 2 people JIVING in the kitchen together (David may have been taking orders, but he said it was okay). So instead of giving it to you in a normal recipe instruction list, I'm going to do things a little different. This is officially a simple chicken noodle soup. We always argue over whether to do noodles (David's second favorite food of all time) or potatoes (my favorite food of all time). This time I surrendered before we even started talking so noodles it will be. As a mini life update, I have officially experienced -6 degree weather, so that's cold. And Peanut, our dog, is loving all this snow. I think he thinks of it as free water. So that's cute. David has started his second semester, and I have discovered a non-profit to be apart of. I'll let you know if anything cool happens but I don't want to get anyone's hopes up besides mine if I can help it. I'm feeling kind of funky today so I'll just give you the recipe instead of embarrassing myself with un-witty banter and documenting it on this blog.

Ingredients:

3 carrots

4 stalks of celery

1 medium sized onion

1 tablespoon butter

1/5 tablespoon minced garlic

1 frozen chicken breast halved (so it's skinnier)

1 48 oz of Swanson broth

1 15 oz can of Swanson broth

½ tsp salt, pepper, oregano, parsley

noodles

General directions:

PERSON ONE (more work):

get out the crock pot

chop all the celery and throw it in

chop the carrots and throw them in

add 2 pieces of frozen chicken breast (I guess it doesn't really have to be frozen, but whatever, chicken goes in)

melt butter in a sauce pan while you chop the onion up real small.

Saute onion and minced garlic until your eyes can't take it anymore / onions are sea through.

Throw it into the crock pot.

PERSON 2 (less work):

peel 3 carrots

Pour broth into crock pot

Get out chicken

add all of the spices to the crock pot

Last person to touch the crock pot sets it on high.

Tonight we will make noodles and add them. I heard it's good if you cook the noodles as you normally would, in water, and then add them to the soup later, that it causes them to over cook less. So I'll let you know how that goes.

Crock pot tip of the Day:

Unless you have a very steady hand, do not use a soft spatula with a crock pot. We often forget that inside the crock pot, things are hot, and if you accidentally flick any food from there on your face with the soft rubber spatula, it will hurt.
