Chicken Noodle Soup

Chicken Noodle Soup

from the Fixate Cook Book

Need something quick and simple for dinner tomorrow night?  
This soup takes about 15 min to prep, and 20 minutes to cook OR you can prep it tonight (15 min) and then throw on the crock pot for 2 hours on low.  We had extra chicken cooked up from last night's dinner, so I was able to just throw in the left over chicken from dinner with a few veggies and some pasta.

AND this recipe is Fix Approved!  
It's found in the Fixate cook book but I'll share it with you here.
 

It is a sneaky way to get in :

2 Green Containers

1 Red Container

and 1 1/2 yellow containers

Kids love this recipe too!   I'm sure it will be a hit in your home too.




Here's what you'll need:

1 tsp. olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 cups sliced celery (about 4 stocks)
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth (I used Epicure Chicken Broth Mix)
3 cups chopped cooked chicken, skinless
1 1/2 cups sliced carrots (about 3 medium)
1 tsp. dried oregano leaves
1/2 tsp. sea salt
1/2  tsp. ground pepper
1 1/4 cups dry whole wheat pasta
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
 
Directions:

1. Heat oil in large saucepan over medium heat.
2. Add onion and celery; cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes, or until onion is translucent
3. This is where you can transfer the cooked  veggies into the crock pot and add the broth, chicken, carrots, oregano, salt, and pepper. 
4. If you are keeping it on the stove top to eat right away, add the broth, chicken, carrots, oregano, salt and pepper.  Bring to a boil for 10 minutes
5. Add cilantro before serving.

This recipe serves 4.  So I actually made up a double batch so we have it for lunches or we can freeze and have for a future healthy lunch or meal.

Let me know if you tried this one.  Share on Facebook to a friend you think would enjoy or to save for future reference.
