Some non-healthy chicken noodle soup

I'm putting this up just for my sister Rosie. I kind of threw this together after going to lunch at the Olive Garden and eating this: Chicken & Gnocchi Soup

Yummy Chicken Noodle Soup:

2 chicken breasts
1 bay leaf
several stalks of celery, chopped
salt (1/2 tsp.?)
pepper
sage (sprinkle these things in until they look good)
lots of carrots
3 large red potatoes, cubed
celery seed


Boil all ingredients until chicken is cooked. Take chicken out and cut into small pieces. Continue boiling until vegetables are tender.

If you used too much water (as in more than 2 quarts...ish) then, spoon some of the broth into a jar to freeze for later. Or you can put them in ice cube trays (thanks Rosie!) This eliminates the need for canned chicken broth (too expensive) or bouillon, which can contain MSG and lots of other unwanted ingredients.

Add these ingredients and bring to a boil for 5 more minutes:

Worcestershire sauce (about 1 tsp.)
6 strips of bacon, cooked (microwaving is easy)
a large handful of fresh (organic! --Spinach is one of those foods that has high concentrations of pesticides. Don't believe me? Check it out here)
homemade pasta
1 can of evaporated milk. (regular milk works too--not as creamy, but probably less fattening.)

1/2 c. (ish) of Parmesan cheese


you might need to add more salt and pepper to tate.

Now here's some soup that actually fills you up and doesn't make the husband feel like he's at a Relief Society social.


Enjoy!!!!
