Name: Chicken Noodle Soup
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 36 min
Total time: 51 min
Ingredients: 3 oz. dry whole wheat bow-tie, penne, or rotini pasta; 1 Tbsp. olive oil; 1 medium onion (chopped); 2 medium carrots (sliced); 2 medium celery stalks (sliced); 6 cups low-sodium organic chicken broth; 1½ lbs. cooked shredded chicken breast (approx. 4½ cups); ¾ tsp. sea salt or Himalayan salt; ¼ tsp. ground white pepper

Whether you’re coming down with a cold or simply craving a comforting bowl of soup, you can count on a cup of chicken noodle soup to hit the spot.

I love a low-and-slow soup as much as the next person, but frankly, there’s rarely a day when I can find the time to make it.

But this recipe is an easy homemade alternative that doesn’t take all day. In fact, it takes less than 15 minutes to prep and is ready in under an hour!

To make cooking this soup even easier, I use rotisserie chicken or leftover chicken breast. Make sure you pick a good quality chicken broth or use homemade – it really makes a difference in flavor!

Pro tip: If you aren’t going to serve all of the soup immediately, store the soup and pasta separately or the pasta will swell and absorb the liquid from the soup.
