It's a Keeper!

If a new recipe makes it past the trial run, I slip it into the menu again...if it gets requested a third time, it's a keeper! And it's really a bonus if my friend, the crockpot, can work all day so I don't have to!

Here's a recipe I've tweaked to our liking and size. Take note, I don't use any fancy spices I can't pronounce :)

Crockpot Chicken Noodle Soup

4 lbs cut up chicken pieces

4 cups water

6 cups chicken broth

4 chicken bullion cubes

1 tsp seasoned salt

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

2 carrots, chopped

2 stalks celery, chopped

1 small onion, chopped

2 tbsp parsley flakes

2 tsp minced garlic

12 oz (or more) noodles (I use a short, fine egg noodle like Manischewitz)

Place all ingredients except noodles in crockpot, cover and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours. Remove chicken, debone and return meat to crock. Cook noodles separately and add to crock (reserving liquid in case you need more in the soup).

And did I mention I even worked this into my Weight Watcher's plan ~ and so far I've said goodbye to 6 pounds!
