Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup

It's that time of year where the weather won't make up it's mind whether it's going to be 50 or 75... and sometimes you see both in just one day. As a result, I've been feeling congested and my poor boyfriend woke up this morning with a sore throat, so I decided to make us some quick homemade chicken noodle soup.

Makes about 10-12 cups

You'll need:
1 (2-3 lb) Rotisserie chicken, shredded
8 oz egg noodles
1 small yellow onion (or 1/2 of a large yellow onion), diced
3-4 celery stalks, diced
3-4 medium carrots, peeled and diced
3 medium cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 cup parsley, minced
4 cups of water
4 cups chicken broth
2 chicken bouillon cubes
salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
Combine water, chicken broth, chicken bouillon cubes, onion, celery, carrots, and garlic in a pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Add chicken and parsley and continue simmering for an additional 20-30 minutes.

In another pot, boil water and cook egg noodles according to directions- careful not to overcook them.

Once the noodles are done, add in to soup and serve.

I planned on making a lot, so we could eat it as needed over the next few days- and so I can freeze some of it to reheat on another sick or cold day.
