Southern Chicken Noodle Soup on a Cool Fall Day
11:01 PM
I was in the mood for soup today, and my family was a little spoiled--since, I was in the mood to cook and bake from scratch. Or, at least I think they are spoiled--they would rather order pizza ;).
I keep telling myself, they WILL appreciate this one day, when they go off to college!!
However, since I was also trying to clean the carpeting in the house, watch 2 toddlers and a baby, and organize my spice cabinet--I decided that getting out the slow-cooker might be a good idea.

It turned out to be a big hit with everyone-- DH, and kids both gobbled it up! Well, maybe it's because they knew there would be no peach cobbler, if they didn't finish their soup!!
Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 pounds chicken pieces
- 8 cups of water
- 4 T chicken bouillon
- 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 small onion chopped
- 1 carrot, chopped
- 2 t of celery seed *because I didn't have celery
- 1/4 cup parsley, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon basil
- 1 bay leaf
- 6-8 ounces noodles
Preparation:
Place all ingredients except noodles in the Crock Pot. Cover and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours. Remove chicken and bay leaf from pot; take meat from bones, dice, and return to broth, and add the noodles. Cook another hour or until noodles are done (about 1/2 hour on high). Or, cook the noodles separately and add them just before serving.
So, don't wait 'til you're sick to make this yummy soup- Take advantage of the cool weather, and warm up with a bowl of old-fashioned goodness!
