A steaming bowl of chicken & vegetable noodle soup garnished with fresh herbs

Ingredients:

• 4 cups of water

• 4 teaspoons of Better Than Bouillon (seasoned vegetable base)

• 1 white or yellow onion, diced

• 2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced

• 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced

• 2 stalks of celery, chopped

• 1 cup of noodles of your choice (ex: egg noodles, whole wheat, or gluten-free)

• 1 handful of fresh dill, chopped

• 1 handful of fresh parsley, chopped

• Fresh garlic cloves, minced (cook with your heart)

• 1 teaspoon of seasoned salt

• 2 teaspoons of onion powder

• 1 teaspoon of garlic powder

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• Optional: 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded

Instructions:

• Step 1: Sauté the Vegetables

  In a large pot, heat a splash of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced carrots, diced potatoes and onions, and chopped celery. After a few minutes add the minced garlic and continue to sauté the vegetables until they begin to soften.

  
  

• Step 2: Add the Broth

  After the vegetables have softened, pour in the water and add the Better Than Bouillon along with all of the other seasonings. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Allow the soup to simmer for about 15-20 minutes, giving the flavors time to blend.

  
  

• Step 3: Incorporate the Noodles

  Once the broth has simmered, add your choice of noodles to the pot. For egg noodles, they typically cook in about 7-10 minutes. Stir the soup occasionally to prevent sticking. If you're adding chicken, this is the perfect time to include that.

  
  

• Step 4: Garnish

  Once the noodles are cooked, stir in the fresh dill and parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
