Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup

We’ve been battling the sniffles, so of course a cup of steaming homemade chicken noodle soup was called for.

Recipe:

1 medium onion, minced
3-4 carrots, minced
2-3 stalks of celery, minced
2 c. or so of shredded, roasted chicken
reserved drippings and other fatty goodness from roast chicken
homemade or frozen egg noodles
1 tsp. thyme
salt, to taste

Heat 1 T. of oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onions, carrots and celery and cook for about five minutes, until soft. Add about 10 c. water and your leftover chicken drippings. Bring to a boil, then throw in your shredded chicken, egg noodles, salt and thyme. Simmer over medium heat for 20-30 minutes, until noodles are tender. Check the seasoning, and add more salt if needed.
