Chicken Noodle Soup for the Soul

We cook this with fresh chicken breasts. You can follow the recipe or dice up the chicken before hand and cook it w/o shredding the chicken. It’s up to you! Own it.

1. Place all of the ingredients, except the noodles into the pot.
2. Cover and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours.
3. Remove the chicken and the bay leaf.
4. We shred the chicken into little bite sized morsels and return it all to the pot.
5. Add the noodles.

Cook another 1/2 hour on high or you can cook the noodles separately and add them just before serving. We have used broken up fettucini or egg noodles with this. Give it a good stir before serving. A big bowl of this with bread and butter is good for the Soul. Serves 8-10.
