I serve this soup to my family anytime one of us comes down with a cold or the flu. It is full of veggies, chicken and homemade noodles.
Roast Chicken Soup
4 chicken breasts, skinless and boneless, roasted then chopped
3 qts. homemade chicken stock
4-5 carrots, chopped
4-5 ribs of celery, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
5-6 cloves of garlic, minced
1 t thyme
1/4 t oregano
3 bay leaves
1 can tomatoes with green chilis
1/4 c. Italian parsley, minced
1 large bunch of Kale, ribs removed and chopped
1/2 – 1 recipe of homemade pasta (don’t roll as thin as the pasta and they make great noodles!)
In a large stock pot, add a little olive oil. Caramelize the carrots, celery, onions, and garlic. Be careful not to burn the garlic. When you have a nice caramelized color on the veggies, add all the other ingredients except the noodles. Simmer for 30 minutes. Add the noodles and allow to boil for 3-5 minutes. Serve with crusty bread and grated parmesan cheese.
