chicken noodle soup.

last weekend both luke & i came down with colds.

we've been slowly recovering this week but it has not been easy, let me tell ya.

your life does not slow down when you are sniffing & sneezing all over everything
(although one professor in my class DID hand me a box of sanitizer wipes & said 'stay far far away..') 

anyway, i wanted to make something warm & yummy for us while we were dying,

& something that luke could just eat when he got home.

he's always cooking for me & i suck at doing the same for him, so this was

my chance to try.. i think it turned out pretty good, too!

 here's the recipe for you crockpot lovers:

 

CROCKPOT CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP

ingredients

 3 large chicken breasts (fresh or frozen)
1 -49 oz can Swanson Chicken Broth or Stock
1/2 can (of the broth) water
4 Chicken bullion cubes
One package (about 6) large carrots peeled & sliced

One onion diced
One bunch celery washed and sliced

 1/4 bunch parsley
Salt and Pepper to taste

 

 

Add all ingredients to the crockpot and stir.  Cook for about 6 hours on low.  Shred or dice chicken.

1/2 package small egg noodles, cooked separately before you are ready to serve.  Add to the soup when ready to eat! (this keeps the noodles from getting soggy!)

 

 

after trying it luke & i both agreed that one whole onion is WAY too much. so next time

we'll probably only do 1/2. 

other than that.. it was the most delicious ever! & seriously helped our sickness, i think..
