Chicken Noodle Soup


2 lbs bonele.ss skinless chicken breasts


10 cups chicken broth


4 red potatoes, cut into 1 inch cubes


4 cups onions, quartered


1 cup carrots, sliced


3 cups celery, sliced (with tops)


2 cups zucchini, sliced


8 oz. tomato sauce, canned


2 cloves garlic, minced


1/4 bunch parsley, chopped


1/4 bunch cilantro, chopped


1/2 bag egg noodles, cooked according to package directions





Cook chicken breasts in microwave until cooked through and no longer pink in center. Shred with two forks.





In a large stockpot, combine broth, potatoes, onions, carrots, and celery. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes.





Add zucchini, tomato sauce, garlic, parsley, cilantro, chicken, and cooked and drained noodles. Reduce heat to medium low and cook 10-15 minutes or until zucchini is tender. Season to taste with black pepper and serve.





(This makes a lot! You can keep leftovers in the fridge. In the leftover soup, the noodles will soak up the broth, so add more broth as needed.)
