Good For You...chicken Noodle Soup

Total Time: 50 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• 2 (8 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 6 cups water
• 14 1/2 ounces reduced-sodium fat-free chicken broth (1/3-less-sodium)
• 1/3 cup carrot, finely diced
• 1 cup onion, diced (approximately 1/2 large onion)
• 1/2 cup celery, finely diced
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 ounces angel hair pasta (break noodles in half)

Recipe

• 1 place chicken, water, broth, carrot, onion, and celery in a one-gallon pot and bring to a boil.
• 2 cook until chicken is no longer pink (about 15 minutes).
• 3 remove chicken and skim any fat from broth (or refrigerate broth for 2 to 3 hours and then skim fat).
• 4 dice chicken into bite-size pieces.
• 5 return chicken to the skimmed broth along with all remaining ingredients.
• 6 place over high heat and return to a boil.
• 7 reduce heat to medium-high and boil gently until pasta is cooked (3 to 5 minutes).
• 8 serve right away; the pasta will continue to absorb liquid if the soup is left simmering.
