Homemade Chicken Soup

One of my new winter resolutions is to make soup on a frequent (weekly) basis. I started today with my favorite chicken noodle. I loved using my new red pot (thanks to Paige). Doesn't it look good?





2 cup small pasta
1 cup carrots, chopped
1 cup onion, chopped
1 cup celery, chopped
2 chicken breasts or 6 chicken tenders
5 cups chicken broth (3 cans)
3 cups water
1 1/2 cloves garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon thyme

Place all ingredients except pasta in soup kettle (bright red is preferable). Bring to a boil. Simmer 45 minutes. Bone chicken and cut into bite-size pieces; set aside. Bring soup back to a boil. Add pasta and cook 8-10 minutes. Add chicken and serve. (Mother's recipe)
