Why Chicken Noodle Soup?

Chicken noodle soup is more than just a meal; it's a hug in a bowl. Packed with tender chicken, wholesome vegetables, and comforting noodles, it's a dish that warms you from the inside out. Plus, making it at home means you can control the ingredients, ensuring a healthier, tastier version than anything you'd find in a can.

Ingredients You'll Need:

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 1 small onion, finely chopped

• 2 carrots, peeled and sliced

• 2 celery stalks, sliced

• 2 garlic cloves, minced

• 4 cups (1 liter) chicken broth (low-sodium preferred)

• 1 cup water

• 1 bay leaf

• 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme)

• 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or diced (rotisserie chicken works great!)

• 1 cup egg noodles (or pasta of your choice)

• Salt and pepper to taste

• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Prep Your Ingredients: Start by chopping your vegetables and shredding or dicing your cooked chicken. Having everything ready will make the process smoother.

2. Combine Ingredients in the Soup Maker: Add the chicken broth, vegetables, water, bay leaf, thyme, and cooked chicken to the Soup Maker. Stir gently to combine. Ensure that the total liquid reaches the minimum 1.3L mark. If needed, add a bit more water or broth to meet the requirement.

3. Select the Soup Function: Close the lid and select the 'Smooth' function on your Soup Maker. This setting will heat the soup to a gentle boil and simmer it to perfection, allowing all the flavors to meld together.

4. Add the Noodles: About 10 minutes before the cooking cycle ends, open the lid and add the egg noodles. This ensures they cook through without becoming mushy. Close the lid and let the Soup Maker finish its cycle.

5. Season and Serve: Once the cycle is complete, carefully open the lid and remove the bay leaf. Since the Soup Maker cannot be used for seasoning directly, transfer the soup to a large bowl or pot. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley.

Serving Suggestions:

• Classic Comfort: Serve your chicken noodle soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers for dipping.

• Healthy Twist: Add a handful of spinach or kale during the last few minutes of cooking for an extra boost of greens.

• Kid-Friendly: Use fun-shaped pasta like stars or alphabets to make the soup more appealing to little ones.
