HOMESTYLE CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP

Steps:

• To cook the chicken breast, wrap each breast tightly in foil and bake on cookie sheet until no longer pink. No water or seasonings needed, the foil keeps the chicken's natural juices "trapped" so it cooks moist and tender. Chop into pieces of whatever size you desire.
• In large stockpot, add broth and start cooking on high heat. Chop veggies to whatever size of pieces you desire. I keep mine on the larger size. Add to broth.
• Add all seasonings to broth, including bay leaf, cover and bring to a rolling boil.
• When boiling, add noodles and chicken to broth, lower heat to med and bring back to a boil, uncovered.
• Boil for approx 25 min or until noodles are al dente.
• Lower heat to get a good simmer. Simmer 15-20 min uncovered. Give a good stir, remove bay leaf and serve.
• Optional Additions:.
• 1/4 tsp celery seed.
• omit onion powder and instead add 1/4c chopped onion.
• Note: If you don't have fresh parsley you can use 1T dried parsley instead.
• Prep time is an estimate and does not include cooking time for the chicken breasts.
