Chicken Noodle Soup

It has been so bitter cold, that my only thought for food was SOUP... and lots of it. I had about 3 chicken breasts in the fridge that I hoped (fingers crossed) would fair well for a pot of soup.. even if it lasted for only one meal! 

So I survey the veggie line up find a few carrots, and some celery that if not eaten will have to be smeared with PB shortly or its life will have expired.  I know I have some garlic (fresh) and I hope I have some sort of noodle in the cabinet. 

So I am off with the food processor.. amazed how fast the carrots are done, I put the chicken in a pot to start to boil. I lightly salt and pepper the chicken, while I cook get the garlic peeled and then minced. Once the chicken is par boiled, I remove from the pot, and debone. I put some light oil in a pan, with the garlic & chicken  until the garlic is slightly browned. Remove the garlic, chicken from pan & put back in the pot of stock, add alittle water and continue to boil. I chopped up the celery and when the chicken, broth & garlic had boiled for about 15 minutes, I added the celery, carrots for just 5- 6 minutes.  I got the egg noodles boiled up in a seperate pot, since I will allow this to sit overnight and I do not want the noodles to get gross - I keep them separate. 

Once noodles are done. Add them to a bowl. Add chicken on top and  Chicken Noodle Soup is being served....
