Quick Easy Chicken Noodle Soup

Ingredients needed for easy chicken noodle soup

• Small onion:  small onion, chopped. You can use a wooden cutting board for this.
• Garlic: you only need 1 clove and make sure it is minced. No fresh garlic? You can use dried minced garlic you can find in the spice aisle in the grocery stores or on Amazon.
• Celery: 1 stalk, chopped. If you don't like celery, you can leave this out altogether, or save it for your celery juice!
• Olive oil: I like to cook most of my dishes in olive oil, but if you prefer vegetable or canola oil, that is ok too!
• Chicken Broth: For this recipe,  I used College Inn, but you can use your favorite brand, or homemade stock if you have some.
• Chicken Boullion: This is a staple in every pantry. If you don't have the cubes, try Better Than Bullion as is adds lots of flavor to soups and recipes. 
• Frozen mixed vegetables: Adding vegetables to this chicken noodle soup is a great way to get added nutrients in your meal.
• Water: Adding water creates more broth to enjoy!
• Wide egg noodles: Egg noodles are the perfect pasta to use because they expand so much so you only need a little bit. Start with 2 handfuls, which should be about 2 cups. Add more if you like lots of noodles!
