I just made this today and it was really tasty, cheap, and loaded with veggies!
ITALIAN CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP
2 tbs olive oil
1 lg red onion chopped small
5 celery stalks chopped small
3 cloves minced garlic
2 tbs parsley
2 lbs tomatoes (I used 3 great big ones)
8 cups water
5 chicken bullion cubes
1/4 c chopped fresh basil
12 oz small egg noodles
1 lb chopped up chicken
- Cut up veggies really small and saute with the olive oil (add the tomatoes last after the others have cooked - once they are in its practiacly soup - I used my food processor to get everything really small)
- Add garlic and seasonings
- Add water and bullion cubes
- Add cooked chicken ( I bought a roasted chicken from the store to save time)
- Add bag of noodles
- Cook till noodles are soft, add salt and pepper to taste
