Hearty Chicken & Potato Stew

Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup

2-3 c prepared chicken

8-10 c chicken stock

2 chicken bouillon cubes

3 carrots (diced or shredded)

3 celery stalks (diced)

1 onion (diced)

1 t basil

1 t oregano

1 t marjoram

1 bay leaf

salt & pepper to taste

1 pkg. wide egg noodles

fresh parsley

Prepared Chicken

You can do this a variety of ways - I like to roast my chicken first and then shred meat in chunky pieces. I place my chicken (6-8 pieces) on a baking sheet - drizzle with olive oil and season with kosher salt and cracked black pepper - roast @ 350 degrees for about 40 minutes. You may also poach your chicken in simmering stock or even use a rotisserie chicken for this delectable soup.

In a large dutch oven saute onions, carrots and celery in butter until tender. Add chicken stock, bouillon cubes, spices and seasonings - bring to a boil and then reduce heat. Stir in chicken and simmer for 30-45 minutes allowing all of the flavors to blend. Bring soup up to a boil again and add the egg noodles - cook until al dente and remove from heat. Serve garnished with fresh parsley.

For Homemade Chicken Stock see my post under Concetta's Recipes.

For a delicious twist on this soup try adding cubed potatoes and corn instead of the egg noodles making a hearty stew!
