Chicken Pasta Soup
Ingredients:
2 Tbls. butter
1 ½ cups chopped carrots
1 ½ cups chopped celery
1 medium onion, chopped
4 cups chicken stock
2 cups cooked chicken, chopped
8 oz. uncooked pasta
1 tsp. garlic powder
½ tsp. black pepper
½ tsp. salt
Directions:
Cook carrots, celery, and onion in butter until vegetables are slightly tender. In a large pot, combine the vegetables, stock, chicken, and seasonings and cook for at least 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in another pot, cook the pasta according to package directions.
Add the cooked pasta to the soup pot and enjoy!
Note: It will be tempting to add the pasta to the soup without cooking it separately. However, the pasta will become mushy and the starches will destroy the consistency of the broth.
