chicken noodle soup

i'm sure there are a million recipes for chicken noodle soup.  this is just the way i make it- i imagine it's the way most people do.  two of my little ones have colds along with my mother in law- so last night i thought this would be the perfect dinner for them. 

in a hot pan add a couple tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and a tablespoon of butter.

add about a cup of chopped carrots and celery and a half cup chopped onion

saute veggies until they are soft- but not mushy- season with salt and pepper

add a large can of chicken broth

add cooked chopped chicken.  (i bake at 350 for 25 minutes coated with olive oil, salt and pepper)

bring to a boil

add 3/4 bag of egg noodles.  cook until the noodles are done (just follow directions on package) turn soup off when they are cooked.  if you continue to let simmer the noodles will continue to cook and turn into mush.

that's it!  i think they are feeling better already!
