Winter Comfort- Southwest Chicken Noodle Soup

  

    Southwest Chicken Noodle Soup

I AM HORRIBLE AT WRITING DOWN RECIPES- AND I DON'T ALWAYS MEASURE INGREDIENTS!  But this is one soup you will want to have!

Here's How: 

In your favorite stewing pot, place number of chicken pieces desired, fill at least 3/4 of the pot deep with water and boil until chicken is completely cooked. Remove chicken from pot, set aside to cool. 

Strain the chicken stock through cheese cloth returning the stock to your pot.

Add fresh chopped Celery and Carrots. Boil in chicken stock until tender. 

Season with: 2 Tbls. Chicken Flavored Soup Base, Sea Salt, Cumin, & fresh ground Black Pepper to taste. 

Remove chicken from bones, (if not boneless) and cut into bite-sized pieces. Add chicken to the soup mix. 

30 minutes before serving: Add 1/2 cup mild pickled Green Jalapeño peppers, 4 handfuls of your favorite pasta noodles, and return to boil. (time may vary depending on the thickness of the noodles).

10 min. before serving: Add 1 can cream of chicken soup (slightly wisked) Stir until thickened, adding more water if the broth becomes too thick.    Serve hot!  

Enjoy,
