basic chicken noodle soup

i wish i had a REAL excuse for my absence on this blog. like i've been backpacking in europe and was so busy eating and drinking great food i had no time to blog. or i was preparing for the NYC marathon and was determine to have a some absurd record time. nope. didn't come close to any of those. honestly, my excuse is: laziness. i've been sitting on my butt this whole time. i didn't "feel like" pressing the on button and watch my slow computer load up. i didn't "feel like" typing. you know what i'm talking about. you had that same excuse today at some point. you didn't "feel like it".

well i'm gonna keep using my lame excuse. i didn't "feel like" cooking fancy tonight so i made the easiest soup recipe on the planet. chicken noodle soup .

whatcha need:

chicken broth (1 big container)

3 carrots- chopped

3 celery stalks- chopped

1 yellow onion- chopped

egg noodles (no yolk brand, or whatever noodle you want)

chicken breast (i used 2)

salt and pepper

whatcha do:

grab a stock pot. dump in broth. add veggies and chicken. add enough water so that veggies and chicken are covered. salt/pepper generously. bring to a boil. reduce to a simmer and partially cover pot. cook for 35 mins. remove chicken and shred on a plate. bring water back to a boil, add noodles and shredded chicken. (add more water if you need too) cook until noodles are done, about 10 mins.
