Easy Chicken Noodle Soup

Macaroni Menu

By Jennifer Hill, Macaroni Kid Fremont April 11, 2013
In my household, soup is only a recently enjoyed item. It is still very restricted which soups will work as well, but this is one I have worked hard and gotten my son to take to! This is Macaroni Kid recipe, but I have to use veggies that my son will like. We use corn and peas as my son won't touch cooked carrots. He doesnt know the celery is in it, or he may stop eating it. You can use veggies that your kids will eat too, or quietly sneak them in!

Ingredients:
  • 3-4 chicken breasts
  • 3 32 oz. cartons of chicken broth
  • raw carrots
  • can of corn, drained
  • oregano
  • onion powder
  • raw celery, if desired
  • 1 lb. box of pasta (I prefer rotini shaped)
In a large pot, add chicken broth and chicken breasts and cook on medium high. Sprinkle in some oregano and onion powder. After about 20 minutes, remove the chicken, one piece at a time, and cut it up into bite-size pieces and add back to the pot. Add the corn, carrots and celery. (Add carrots when you first add chicken if you are using larger pieces of carrots. I prefer the thin slices you see in the photo, and they cook quickly.) Add pasta and cook on medium high for another 20 minutes or until the pasta is cooked through.
