Cheater's Chicken Noodle Soup

The perfect cure for your springtime cold.

I've seen this recipe in a few different places. Very tasty...especially for how easy it is!

(If you want to be even more of a "cheater," buy a rotisserie

chicken like I did like some people do. :)

Cheater's Chicken Noodle Soup
Makes a large pot

4 quarts water

10 chicken bouillon cubes (I use "Better Than Bouillon" reduced sodium)

2-3 cups chopped carrots

1-2 cups chopped celery*

6 1/2 cups uncooked egg noodles (I use whole grain pasta)

2 cans cream of chicken soup (I use a homemade substitute for this)

3-4 chicken breasts, cooked and diced
1 Tbsp onion powder

salt & pepper, to taste

8 oz. light sour cream

In large stockpot, combine water & bouillon cubes and bring to a boil. Add carrots & celery and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Add noodles and cook for 8-10 more minutes. Add soup & chicken and heat through, stirring over medium heat. Add seasonings to taste. Remove from heat; add sour cream and stir to blend in.

Easy enough, right?

*I've also used green beans or peas in place of celery and it worked out great.
