One Pot Chicken Noodle Soup


This chicken noodle soup is easy, quick, and great for days where the weather just can't make up its mind! Snow, rain, hail, or shine? No matter the weather, soup is always a good choice! It is so simple, and will fill your home with delightful aromas! 

Special Tips:
  • I like to use chicken stock instead of broth because it has more body and flavor, but you can use either to make this soup!
  • Just a little lemon juice will brighten up your broth! You can also use citrus to dampen saltiness if you accidentally added too much salt!

Serves 4

Ingredients:
  • 2 small boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 cups chicken stock or broth
  • 2 tbsp butter 
  • 1/2 yellow onion, diced
  • 3 celery stalks, chopped
  • 2 carrots, chopped 
    • I used 1/2 a cup of shredded carrots that I had previously bought for a salad!
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • Water: between 1/2 cup to 1 cup
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1.5 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp lemon juice
  • 6 oz egg noodles

Directions:
  1. Melt butter in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat
  2. Add onion, celery, garlic, salt, and pepper to the Dutch over
  3. Saute until onions are translucent, 3-5 minutes
  4. Add chicken stock slowly and while stirring to avoid burning
  5. Add the thyme
  6. Place chicken breasts into the stock on top of the vegetables
  7. Bring soup to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to a simmer for 20 minutes
  8. Remove chicken, shred into bite size pieces, and return to soup
  9. Add a little water or more chicken stock if you lost some volume during the simmer
  10. Add egg noodles and stir to combine noodles throughout soup
  11. Cover and simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes depending on the package instructions for the egg noodles
  12. Add the lemon juice to brighten your sauce
  13. Before serving, taste your soup! Add salt and pepper to taste.
  14. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Extra Love:
  • Serve this soup with a crusty bread for extra comfort!
  • You can substitute carrots for peas or leave them out entirely if you don't have them on hand!
  • You can freeze this soup easily by leaving out the noodles from the portion you intend to freeze. You can cook the noodles separately and add them to the portion you want to eat right away!
As always, cook with love.

Nanni's Meatballs

  Around Christmas time last year my Nanni passed away. She left behind a beautiful and well lived life which made possible 4 children, 14 grandchildren, 1 great grandchild, and countless friends and extended family. She was a cancer survivor, an active member of her church, and enjoyed a cup of coffee and always had cookies on deck for the grandkids.  I wanted to honor her with a recipe from a beautiful book put together by her daughter, my Aunt Kim, which became a tearful Christmas gift because none of us knew last year that she wouldn't be there to share it. The cookbook contains recipes from Nanni's personal collection, both handwritten and typed, and also includes many recipes from other family members to create a Stilwell Family Cookbook across generations.  I decided to use Nanni's meatball recipe to highlight her skills in the kitchen with simple family style meal. The recipe below is my take on her original dish. If you're looking for an easy, delic...

Amber's Macaroni & Cheese

My macaroni and cheese is my most requested, pot-luck-pleasing, party-going recipe so why should it not be the star of my very first post? This recipe has become a staple of my household, adored by my husband and all of our friends and family. You can play around with the recipe by adding different cheeses and even some spice, but I'll get to that later. The first thing you need to do is prep all of your ingredients. I find that this recipe is easier to accomplish when things are ready at your fingertips. We don't all have sou chefs to rely on, but a friend or spouse can come in handy if you forget to prep something. Special Tips: Pasta: I prefer to use Cavatappi pasta because the larger noodles and helical shape really make this dish seem like your fine dining, but you can use elbow macaroni or other kind of pasta! Cheese: no matter what cheese you add, always grate it yourself! Pre-shredded cheese loses some of the robust flavors and produces a clumpy, sometime gri...
