I like my grandma’s chicken soup because it has a lot of noodles and chicken. It is great to have for dinner on a cold, rainy day. My grandma makes me some when the weather gets colder. I always look forward to a big bowl of her soup.
GRANDMA’S CHICKEN-NOODLE SOUP
6 tablespoons olive oil
1 small chicken, cut up
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 large onion, peeled and diced
4 carrots, peeled and sliced
3 ribs celery, chopped
2 sprigs parsley
2 quarts water
1 chicken bouillon cube
1 (16-ounce) package pasta noodles
1. Brown the chicken pieces in a large pot using 6 tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
2. After the chicken is brown, add all the cut vegetables and cook for a few minutes on medium heat.
3. Add water and bouillon. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to simmer for about 90 minutes.
4. Cook noodles separately and then add to soup. Serve and enjoy.
