Chicken Noodle Soup

So my son is crazy. He'll eat cold plain tofu, frozen chicken nuggets, and the fat off the top of his Yo-baby yogurt. But he won't eat things that most kids eat, like potatoes. And for his birthday, when given the option of having any meal he could ever want, he asks for chicken noodle soup. And it wasn't a fluke either; it's what he wanted for his last birthday dinner too. So here is the recipe for his favorite meal.


1 lb chicken breasts
3-4 ribs chopped celery
4-5 chopped carrots
4-6 oz quartered mushrooms
10-12 cups chicken broth (or water with bullion)
1 tsp basil
1 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp pepper
1-2 cloves minced garlic
1 small onion minced
egg noodles


Boil chicken in chicken broth. Remove and cut up chicken. Skim any foam off the broth. Add vegetables and spices. Boil until vegetables are almost tender. Add chicken and egg noodles. Cook until noodles are done.


I actually love that he likes this, because it is one of my less labor intensive meals. You can also make this with turkey (like after Thanksgiving).
