Chicken Soup for the Soul..or Sick

Luke and I have both been fighting the inevitable fall cold/sinus infection. Oh, how we all dread it's wrath! It is like a chain effect..and it all starts in Kindergarten. Kindergarten, me 1 week later, Luke 1 week later and then somehow my dad seems to "catch" the germs 2 hours away from here. It is always schools fault! :) Anyways, I had the day off today and thought that I would try to doctor my poor, sick hubby up. I whipped out the "Soup Nazi's" (aka-Patty Guinane's) chicken noodle soup recipe. I thought I would share it with you, you will never have a better homemade chicken noodle soup!

Ingredients:
2tbspn olive oil

chopped small onion

chopped carrots (thickness to your liking)

chopped celery (thickness to your liking)

Cut up chicken (honestly, I just use a rotisserie chicken, as it is already flavored)

Spinach

Diced Potatoes (3 large)

Salt

Pepper

Noodles; I used rings

2 cans of Chicken Broth

1 can of water

Parsley

Directions:

1. In large soup pot add olive oil, onions, chicken , carrots and celery. Add salt and pepper. Fry on medium heat until tender.

2. Once tender, add spinach, parsley, potatoes, chicken broth and water. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, turn to low and cover with lid. Simmer for 20 minutes.

3. Cook noodles separately.

4. Add noodles and..wa la!

Luke is already feeling better! ;)

I am convinced that my mom could open a soup kitchen, she would be in all of her glory! XOXO for her fabulous recipe's!

The cat's were sidetracked during "our" cooking session this afternoon. The stray cat outback took up much of their afternoon attention spans...back and forth from the window to the door. I missed the cutest picture EVER by about 3 seconds; they were "standing" side by side with their hands on the window sill, looking out the window. It would have been a total Kodak moment.
