I was at work the day I started getting sick and since I made this on day 2 of feeling like poo (hey, that rhymes), I didn't put my all into this. I made it the best I could in hopes of the garlic, onion, and broth would do their thing and make us feel better.
The problem is that after I made this soup, honey and I were too sick to really eat. We never could get much of this in us. Maybe a half a cup at a time and honey sometimes passed on it completely. He's only started eating more the past 2 days. So although, this should be a healing recipe, it didn't really help us this time because we hardly ate any of it.
Here's the quick homemade recipe with a picture of the final product. It was my lunch today, but I could only eat about 1/4 of. But Baby dog got to enjoy a little taste.
I have to admit, this could have looked better too if I hadn't felt so bad. I got feeling weak part way through shredding the chicken, so it's half chunked, half shredded. ha ha... also I couldn't stand slicing the onions so I stopped at 2. I put noodles in it because honey likes the noodles. I wish now, that I had not even added noodles since he hardly ate any. I completely forgot celery, but I don't really like cooked celery anyway. If you forget it, I think they make celery seasoning if you have that.
Healing Chicken Noodle Soup
Ingredients:
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 cartons low sodium chicken broth (reserve 3/4 of 2nd Carton)
1 package of carrots (I used Bolthouse organic carrot chips) 12 oz.
2 celery bits or seasoning for flavor
1 tbsp of Better than Bullion
Pink Himalayan Salt to taste
pepper to taste
2 large sweet onions or 3 medium
fresh garlic (as much as you can stand)
olive oil
noodles of choice (optional)
Put the chicken breasts in your stock pot and cover with filtered water. Bring to a boil and reduce heat and cover for about 30 minutes to cook the chicken and create a broth base.
While the chicken cooks, gather the rest of your ingredients, slice your onions as you please and peel and chop about 8 garlic cloves.
Go ahead and throw 4 whole cloves in the pot while the chicken simmers. Chop the other cloves and put in a small fry pan with olive oil and brown it over medium low heat to bring the flavor out more.
Once the chicken is done, remove from pot, shred, then put back in pot.
Add the rest of your ingredients.
If adding noodles, I added about 4 small hand fulls (my hands are small!). I still had too many noodles it for us.
Add 1 carton of chicken broth, keep your pot on a simmer temperature, put the lid on it and go take a nap!
In a few hours, your soup will be done and may need a bit more broth and possibly salt and pepper. The noodles soak up the broth and it can hardly look like soup after spending the night in the fridge. So keep your reserved broth handy.
Enjoy and feel better!
