• 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

  
  

These ingredients create a warm and wholesome soup that fills your home with cozy and inviting aromas.

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.

Nutritional Benefits

Besides being delicious, this soup is rich in nutrients. The carrots, potatoes, and celery are packed with benefits. Carrots are especially high in beta-carotene, great for vision, while a medium potato can be a good source of potassium, supporting heart health. The fresh herbs not only enhance the flavor but also contribute antioxidants, making this soup an excellent choice for cold-weather meals. Garlic is also known for its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties.
