Chicken soup IS good for the soul!

k, not one to toot my own horn but gotta say that lately i've been on a roll with cooking some great meals!!

Tonights chicken soup turned out fabulous and was so easy to prepare. I'll try to post a recipe/method of cooking but it's hard because I just throw things together but here goes:

Leftover roasting chicken
8 to 10 cups water or enough to cover the chicken

In this water I added:

2 cloves of garlic cut into easily removable chunks
2 tsps. pepper (we like the heat)
2 tsps. Mrs. Dash Chicken
1 tbsp. chicken oxo
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves
2 Bay leaves (remove when you drain the broth)

Let this simmer for about two hours and boil down.

Remove the chicken and let cool, drain the remaining water through a sieve into another pot to remove any small bones, etc. Pick out pieces of chicken and put with other chicken.

Chop:
3 med. carrots
3 stalks celery
1 small onion or more depending on what you prefer
1/2 cup Orzo pasta or pasta of preference unless you're adding potatoes.
1 cup of fresh sugar snap peas or veggies of choice.

Put these in the pot and bring to a slow boil. Pick chicken off the bones and add back to the soup.

Boil until veggies and pasta are cooked.

Think I got everything and that it turns out as well for you as ours did!
