Feel Better Chicken Noodle Soup

CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP

I didn't follow any particular recipe for this. I just went all freestyle (lol).

1tbs butter

1tbs olive oil

2garlic cloves

1medium onion

2celery stalks;trimmed, thinly sliced

2carrots;peeled, thinly sliced

2-3litres of water

chicken or vegetable stock

rice noodles 

i used an already roasted chicken from grocery store

salt pepper to taste*optional

I added the butter and oil to a big stock pot and sweated the garlic and onions for around 10mins on a low heat with the lid on. Then add the carrots and celery and let them sauté' for a few mins. Then i added the water (obviously, if there are less people in the house add less. I didn't follow any specific measurements). For the chicken stock i used bouillon cubes and then two pouches of *thinks* this other kind of chicken stock (it was liquid and i can't remember!). Basically, keep seasoning to taste! After about 15mins of the broth bubbling away, i added dry, rice noodle sticks. I think i may have added a bit too much to this (2packs), BUT , no one was making this for me when i was unwell(woe is me!), so i can't be blamed. :P  Along with the rice sticks, i added some of the already roasted chicken, along with some of the skin (which i removed afterwards). When the noodles were ready, i served it up in a bowl with some extra chicken on top. 

It was so tasty and i will definitely make it again. I also have enough left over to feed a whole block of people...well maybe not that many, but you get the idea.

Bella cut her lip on the window sill last night. We didn't know how she did it at first and then she told us she was trying to look out at the rain and she fell :( So she's been extra precious today). Soon we will be back to our usual selves...
