Robyn’s Chicken Noodle Soup

1 Whole Chicken
Minced Onion or dehydrated onion 1 Tbs
Or 1 small onion finely chopped
Seasoning salt 2 tsp
Garlic Pepper (or black pepper) 2 tsp
3 Chicken bouillon cubes
Fill a large pot ½ way with water. Add all the above ingredients.
Bring to a boil then reduce to simmer. Cook for 1 hour.
Keep an eye on water level.
Remove chicken, let cool on a platter.
I scoop off the “fat” that is at the top of the water. To the broth
Add sliced up carrots, I use dehydrated carrots. My family doesn’t like celery so I add
1 tablespoon of either parsley or chives.
I like to add 2 more bouillon cubes. Boil for about 10 minutes if using
Dehydrated carrots, 20 if using thinly slices fresh carrots.
De bone chicken and shred into fine pieces. Can sprinkle
Some seasoning salt over top of it.

When carrots are done, add 2 packages of Kluski Noodles:
These noodles are sold at Winegars, Kents. They taste just
Like homemade noodles and have the least amount of
Additives to them. You will need to add more water to allow noodles
To cook properly. Once noodles are cooked, if there is too much liquid,
Scoop out some of the liquid (I save this and add it to dog’s food).
Turn heat down to low.
Add 1 family size can of Campbell's Cream of Chicken Soup
And then fill can ¾ the way full with milk and add.
Stir well, breaking up the cream of chicken. Add chicken pieces
On all the seasonings, play around with it and season to your taste.
My family prefers soup to be thick, but you cook it again to your preference.

Kid friendly (kid made) Chicken Noodle Soup

Soups are a really easy way to use your food storage provided of course you have water :).

My kids like to make dinner (and I"m NOT complaining about this), my ten year old is especially adventurous and will try just about anything.  Tonight she decided on chicken noodle soup but she made it very kid friendly and though I probably would have liked the extra veggies it was delicious.

Here are are few of the ingredients we used but eating was more important than picture taking

Kid friendly Chicken Noodle Soup
 (for a big family)
2 pints canned chicken
10 cups water
10 chicken bouillon cubes (or 2 Tbps instant chicken bouillon)
abt 1/4 cup dried onion flakes
abt 10 chopped baby carrots (or you could use canned or frozen)
2 cups uncooked egg noodles

*stuff in the recipe that she did not like the looks off,
4 medium chopped stalks of celery (maybe freeze dried?)

Combine all ingredients in large pan, heat to boiling; reduce heat.  Cover, simmer until carrots are tender and noodles are cooked, about 15 minutes.  (If you are using fresh noodles you will need to add them closer to the end of your cooking time), sprinkle with snipped parsley if desired.

Note to self, don't take pictures of soup in a green bowl, it looks strange even if it was really yummy.
