Made this for my family and they loved it! I used small Italian pasta instead of egg noodles and added some fresh spinach near the end of the cooking time. I was afraid it was going to be bland and boring but it was a huge hit.

Ingredients

  • 4-1/2  cups chicken broth
  • 1  cup chopped onion (1 large)
  • 1  cup sliced carrot (2 medium)
  • 1  cup sliced celery (2 stalks)
  • 1  teaspoon dried basil, crushed
  • 1  teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
  • 1/4  teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1  bay leaf
  • 1-1/2  cups dried medium egg noodles
  • 2  cups chopped cooked chicken or turkey

Directions

1. In a 3-quart saucepan combine broth, onion, carrot, celery, basil, oregano, pepper, and bay leaf. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 5 minutes. Stir in uncooked noodles. Return to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 8 to 10 minutes or until noodles are tender but still firm and vegetables are just tender. Discard bay leaf. Stir in chicken; heat through. To serve, ladle soup into bowls. Makes 4 main-dish servings.

2. Chicken Tortellini Soup: Prepare as above, except substitute small broccoli florets for the celery and one 9-ounce package refrigerated cheese-filled tortellini for the noodles. Add the broccoli and 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms when tortellini is added.

3. Parmesan-Pesto Chicken Noodle Soup: Prepare as above, except substitute 1 small zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced for the celery; Italian seasoning for the basil and oregano; and dried small shell macaroni for the noodles. Add 2 cloves garlic, minced, to the broth mixture. Add the zucchini with the macaroni. Meanwhile, spread each of 4 slices Italian bread with 1 tablespoon refrigerated basil pesto; sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon finely shredded Parmesan cheese. Place, pesto sides up, on a baking sheet. Preheat broiler. Broil 3 to 4 inches from the heat about 2 minutes or until cheese melts. Top each serving with a slice of the bread.
