What's better on a cold, blustery day than a nice bowl of chicken noodle soup?? Well, how about a nice bowl of HOMEMADE chicken noodle soup?? I love soup and have made so many homemade ones that I can no longer eat canned soups. And cheap?? Wow!! It is amazing how cheap a homemade pot of soup is!! This recipe will easily feed us a few meals at least!!
This recipe was a new one for me...I got it while looking for diet recipes. This recipe, as is, is a 1 point recipe (whatever that means). I followed the original recipe pretty close...made some changes. I found it to be fairly bland...so I added some salt and pepper at the end. I will make my changes in red!
Weight Watchers Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe
Ingredients:
1 chicken whole, no skin, cut up (I kept skin on for added flavor...until I deboned the chicken)
2 medium Carrots — peeled and chopped (GROSS...left this out completely)
1/2 cup onion — peeled and chopped
2 Stalks celery — coarsely chopped
2 1/2 teaspoon Salt (more at the end for flavor)
2 teaspoon parsley (yuck)
3/4 teaspoon marjoram
1/2 teaspoon basil
1/4 teaspoon Poultry seasoning
1/4 teaspoon Pepper (more at the end for flavor)
1 Bay leaf
2 qt Water
2 1/2 cups egg noodles (I have egg noodles, so I used rotini...I want to learn to make my own pasta)
Directions:
Place the first 4 ingredients in a 3 1/2-quart slow cooker in the order listed. Combine salt and the next 6 ingredients; sprinkle over vegetables. Add 6 cups water; cover and cook on low setting for 8 to 10 hours. Remove chicken and bay leaf; add remaining 2 cups water. Stir in noodles and cook, covered, on high setting for 20 minutes.
