(Red) Meatless Monday - Chicken Noodle Soup

What's better than a day of laundry, reading C.S. Lewis, football and comfort food. That's how my Saturday went down. Not too happy about Kurt Warner's injury or the Cardinals loss, but other than that it was a fabulous day. This Chicken Noodle Soup came to be when I wanted to make something using the grocery's I already had. I'm happy to say it's another 5 thumbs up, meaning all five of us loved it!

64 oz. chicken broth
2 cans cream of mushroom soup
2/3 c. milk
1/4 c. butter
Get all that heating in a big pot, then add...
2 cans chicken (I get mine at Costco)
1 1/2 c. chopped carrots
1 c. frozen peas
1 c. frozen corn
1/2 c. diced red peppers
3 stalks celery chopped
2 cloves garlic minced
salt and pepper to taste
Bring to boil, then add...
1/3 bag egg noodles
Stir often and reduce to simmer...the longer you let it simmer the better the taste.
Serves 10

What I like about this recipe is #1 it's super good, #2 it's easy, #3 you can add or take away any igredients you don't care for, #4 it warms your belly.  I know most of you are in freezing temps so give this a try...you won't be sorry.

If you'd like to link up, I'd love to see what you've been cooking.
