Chicken Noodle Soup

I have a sick child home today and a school play tonight so I have my hands full. Most people think of chicken noodle soup when they are sick and my kids are no different.

I have a couple chicken breasts in the freezer, so I am going to simmer them in broth with thyme, rosemary, garlic and onions until they are tender. Pick the meat off the bone and chop it up fine. Strain the broth you cooked the chicken in and add 2-3 carrots, chopped 2-3 potatoes, chopped, a handful each frozen peas and corn and simmer with the chicken till all the veggies are done. A can of cream of chicken soup makes a really creamy addition to this. Add a couple handfuls of noodles, and you have homemade chicken noodle soup.

It makes you feel better, and is gentle on an upset tummy (it freeze well for the next time someone feels bad, too. Yummy.
