Momma Parker's Chicken Soup

Momma Parker's Chicken Soup

Growing up we always had a soup, for lunch or for dinner.  It was cheap and it fed a bunch of us, and there was a bunch of us. To this day it is still a comfort food for me.  

We have added stuff to our soups over the years, so it isn't the plain Jane chicken noodle soup my mom and grandma used to make, but it still gives me the same feels! 

So, out of curiosity, what is a meal that you eat now, that transports you to the simpler life of childhood? 

Note: we start with a homemade chicken stock, or bone broth (whichever we have on hand), but store bought is fine.

6 cups of Broth
2 full chicken breast, cooked and shredded
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1 cup peas
1 cup carrots, chopped
1 stalk of celery, chopped
1/2 pound uncooked pasta (I use red or yellow Lentil Pasta)
1/2 teaspoon sea salt (if using a store bought broth, you don't need to add extra salt)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon rubbed sage
1 Tablespoon fresh dried parsley
1 Tablespoon fresh dried basil
2-3 whole bay leaves

Add Broth, chicken, vegetables, and seasonings to the pot, and simmer for 20 minutes.
Add pasta and simmer for 8-10 minutes.
Serve warm!
