Chicken Noodle Soup

One of the very first recipes that I learned growing up, was our family recipe for Chicken Noodle Soup.  This is one of the most delicious and filling dishes I have ever made. I did make some adjustments to make it my very own recipe. What is also fantastic about this dish is that if you ever have a cold or feel sick, this recipe really hits the spot and recovery from the cold is very quick. I have friends who have tried the soup when they were sick and can attest to this.

Chicken Noodle Soup

Ingredients:

• 1 lb of chicken
• 10 cups of water
• 1 chicken bouillon cube
• 1 cup carrots, chopped
• 1 cup celery, chopped (optional)
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 Tbsp garlic, minced
• 2 daikon, sliced
• 1 Tbsp fish sauce (patis) or 2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp pepper
• 1 1/2 cups small shell noodles

Directions:

• Boil 10 cups of water, then add the chicken, bouillon cube, fish sauce or salt, pepper, garlic, and onion. Boil until chicken is cooked.
• Add the carrots, daikon, and celery.
• Take chicken out and shred, and then add back into pot.
• Add the small shell noodles and let cook for 5-6 minutes.
• Turn off heat, and serve alone or with rice.

This makes about 6-8 servings and took about 30-40 minutes to make. The soup is very easy to make and is also very delicious. Just try it out and let me know what you think.
