Whether it's a cold or the flu that's making the rounds or just some cold weather, this recipe won't let you down. Prep time: 20 minutes Total time: 50 minutes Yield: 8 servings Chicken Noodle SoupIngredients 1 1/4 cup sliced carrots 1 1/4 cup sliced celery 1 1/4 cup chopped onion 12 cups chicken broth or stock 1 tablespoon salt 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning 1/4 cup cold water 3 cups diced, cooked chicken 1 1/2 cups wide egg noodles Directions Pour broth in large stock pot, add salt and poultry seasoning and bring to a boil Stir in carrots, celery, and onion. Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for 20 minutes Mix cornstarch in cold water until completely dissolved. Add, a little at a time, to the soup, stirring constantly (do not just dump it in at once — you’ll end up with pieces of congealed rubber-like things in your soup — I know this through experience) Add chicken and heat through Cook noodles in a large pot of water — undercook them by a minute or two, and add to the soup. As with most recipes, this can be made with all organic ingredients if you want to make organic chicken noodle soup. Notes: This makes a very large pot of soup. There will plenty for my family tonight, leftovers for the boys’ lunches tomorrow and even enough to share. I’ve made it a habit to always give away some soup when I make it myself. It just seems right. Sometimes, I give it to my mom. Sometimes I’ll give it to the crossing guard at the boys’ school. (I think the crossing guard will be getting some today as a thanks for standing out in this cold!)
