happy tummy chicken & noodles
This recipe is based on my Grandma Stevenson's recipe. I have tweaked it to my own taste. I love to make this when I need comfort food. I make it in the summer and winter. It doesn't matter what season, it is always good to me. It makes a large pot so be prepared to freeze some for later.

Teena's chicken and noodle soup is comfort food at its finest. Whether you want something to help you get over a cold or just to warm you up, everyone will enjoy this soup. The noodles are the star. They taste homemade and are very tender (try to find them if you can). Carrots, celery, and onions are a staple in any good chicken soup. This version also adds garlic and a bay leaf for additional flavor. The broth is on the thicker side, so if you want it thinner use less corn starch. Serve this delicious and easy chicken noodle soup with your favorite crackers and your tummy will be very happy.

How To Make happy tummy chicken & noodles
-
Step 1Melt butter in a sauté pan. Add diced vegetables & garlic. Sauté while stirring until almost transparent. About 5 - 6 minutes on medium heat. -
Step 2Pour chicken broth into a large pot and begin to heat. Add sautéed vegetables with the butter to the broth. Add bay leaf to the broth as well.
-
Step 3Bring to a rapid boil. Then add Reames noodles to the boiling broth. Cook for about 5 - 8 minutes or until al dente.
-
Step 4Then add Argo (corn starch mixed with cold water) to the broth for thickening. Stirring constantly. (May have to add more if you like it thicker.) Let this cook through for at least 5 minutes while lightly boiling.
-
Step 5Add chicken to the mix. Then salt & pepper to taste. Let this heat through. Then I always remove the bay leaf and let this set on the stove with the heat off for about 1/2 an hour. Then serve. It will thicken even more during this setting period.
