Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup

hey all (: sorry i didn't post anything yesterday or until just now today, i was escorting my wonderful husband to the airport for him to meet up with his ship, the uss john c. stennis, to begin his seven-month deployment. tonight i was really needing something warm, emotionally or physically, so nothing seemed more appropriate than some homemade chicken noodle soup (: i called sheila (that's my grandma, but i like sheila better) and asked her how to make it and i didn't have any chicken stock or bouillon, but that's what i'm going to write down on here to use instead, it's just much more flavorful and comforting.

INGREDIENTS:

chicken breast
chicken stock or bouillon cubes
carrots
red onion
pasta noodles
garlic
corn
parsley**
basil**
oregano**
sage**
butter

**dried or fresh
DIRECTIONS:

1. boil the chicken breast in chicken stock with about a teaspoon of each herb until fully cooked; add a tablespoon of butter.

2. chop all vegetables.

3. when chicken is completely cooked, remove from stock. once cool, chop.

4. add all chopped veggies to chicken stock, let boil until carrots are soft.

5. after about 5 minutes of boiling, add the pasta, make sure there's enough liquid in the pot to cover the noodles. cook until noodles are al dente and carrots are soft. once finished, add the chicken back in.

 AND NOW, ENJOY!
