Chicken Noodle Soup

Last weekend Dave wasn't feeling well, which was the perfect excuse for me to try a chicken noodle soup recipe. Personally, I love lots of noodles in chicken noodle soup and so I added more than was called for in the recipe, which soaked up the majority of the broth. My new and improved recipe solves this problem. The flavor is perfect though. Classic.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup diced carrot
• 1/4 cup diced celery
• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 1 teaspoon butter
• 7 cups chicken broth
• 1 1/2 cups diced cooked chicken
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 2 cups uncooked medium egg noodles
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley

Directions 

In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, saute carrots, celery and onion in butter until tender. Add broth, chicken and seasonings; bring to a boil. Reduce heat. Add noodles; cook for 10 minutes or until tender. Add parsley.
