Servings 4
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion diced
- 2 large carrots diced
- 2 large celery ribs sliced
- 1 red pepper finely diced
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- pepper to taste
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 cups chopped cooked chicken
- 6 cups chicken broth I prefer homemade
- 6 oz. egg noodles
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 2-3 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
- Over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil in a pot.
- The onion is diced and added to the pot. Keep adding veggies to the pot, except for broccoli, while you chop them. Cook for about 5 mins, until the onion has softened.
- Stir in the seasoning, the chicken, and the broth. Bring to a boil, decrease the heat to medium-high by adding noodles, and cook until noodles are tender. During the last 2 minutes of cooking, add broccoli.
- Stir in the parsley and, before serving, remove the bay leaf.
Notes
- If more broth is desired, you can add 8 cups.
