Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup

I made some Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup over the weekend - and it was a huge success!

I put it all in the crockpot except for the noodles around 10am, and let it cook till Dinner. It was so great on a cold night, made the house smell good, and the girls loved it.

I highly recommend it...

Not a great picture, but believe me, it's SO good.

I got a recipe from here, but changed some things around. Here are the directions:

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups wide egg noodles
• 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
• 12 cups chicken broth
• 1 1/2 tablespoons salt (I recommend using a little less and salting to taste)
  
• 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
• 1 cup chopped celery
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 1 cup chopped carrots (more veggies if you like - we used more :))
  
• 1/3 cup cornstarch
• 1/4 cup water
• 3 cups diced, cooked chicken meat

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine broth, salt, and poultry seasoning. Stir in celery and onion.
   
2. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water together until cornstarch is completely dissolved. Gradually add to soup, stirring constantly.
   
3. Pour into crockpot.
   
4. I cooked the noodles right before we were ready to eat, I didn't add them in the crockpot because I thought they might get mushy or over cook. I ended up loving cooking the soup base and the noodles separate, I think it's a step I'll keep :).

So that's it! Sounds great, huh? I'm going to make a double batch sometime soon and freeze it - what a great quick dinner on a cold night when I just don't feel like making anything.

Broccoli Cheese soup is next on the soup menu, that also sounds reeaally good.

Hope you all had a great weekend!
