Chicken Soup

It's that time of year for warm, yummy soups to eat on a chilly day!!! I love chicken noodle soup. A very special thanks to my friend Kim for sharing with me her dad's delicious chicken soup. The wonderful thing about this recipe is you throw it all in your crock pot and forget about it. It makes enough to feed an army. We ate it all week. You can freeze it too. Just don't add noodles then. Add them  when you're ready to eat it. Hope you enjoy! Thanks Kim for the recipe!!! We love it!!!!

Ingredients:
1 lb chicken breasts (put in whole, shred later)
3-5 celery stalks, chopped.sliced
4-5 carrots, peeled & sliced
1 large onion, chopped
2- 32oz cartons of chicken broth (8 cups)
1 chicken bullion cube
1/2 bag egg noodles (add towards end)
For serving: salt & pepper to taste; crackers

Directions:
Add all ingredients to crock pot, except egg noodles. Cook on low for 8 hours. Towards last half hour, remove chicken and shred. Return to crock pot. Add egg noodles for last 30 minutes if desired or make separate.

Kim's Advice: If you plan on freezing the soup...make noodles on the side because they'll be soggy if you freeze them.
