Easy Chicken Noodle Soup With Vegetables and Egg Noodles

My thanks to all the kind people who gave me advice and suggestions for making chicken noodle soup for my neighbor. I made a practice batch tonight and served it to my husband! I'll make another batch for my neighbor in a few days ... we thought this was pretty good!

Easy Chicken Noodle Soup With Vegetables and Egg Noodles

Ingredients:

• 2 large cans chicken broth
• 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
• carrots, thinly sliced
• celery, thinly sliced
• onion to taste
• 6 oz. uncooked egg noodles
• 3 cooked chicken breasts, cut in small cubes
• 1/2 tsp. dried leaf thyme
• chopped fresh parsley
• 1/4 tsp. poultry seasoning
• 1 bay leaf

Preparation:

Combine chicken broth, pepper, carrot, celery, onion, bay leaf, parsley and poultry seasoning in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil; add noodles and boil for 5 minutes. Add chicken and boil for 5 to 10 minutes longer, or until noodles are tender. Remove bay leaf. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley just before serving. I cooked the noodles separately and added them to the chicken and broth just before serving.
