Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup

Hopefully everyone is staying healthy during the cold season this year.  Just in case you start to feel a little under the weather, here is an easy recipe for homemade chicken noodle soup.

Ingredients:
- 8c homemade chicken stock
- 1T canola oil
- Salt and pepper
- 1t dried oregano
- 2 large carrots, peeled and diced
- 1 small white or yellow onion, diced
- 3 ribs celery, diced
- 1 medium russet potato, peeled and diced
- 1c riso pasta (looks like rice, but is in the pasta aisle)
- 2 chicken legs and thighs, cooked and cut up

Heat your oil in a soup pot.  When it is hot, add your onion, carrots, and celery.  Cook until just starting to soften. 

Add your riso and oregano.  (I use the riso as an alternative to the more traditional larger noodles.  I think it works well with the diced up vegetables, but feel free to substitute any kind of noodles that you like.) 

 

Add the chicken stock, potato, and chicken let simmer for about 20 minutes, until the rice and potato are fully cooked.  You can keep it on the stove longer if needed, just turn the heat down.

Serve hot!
