Equipment
- 1 5 quart pot
Ingredients
- 1 box grain free pasta
- 2 chicken breasts
- 2 stalks celery
- 4 medium carrots
- 1 medium size yellow onion
- 8 cups chicken stock or bone broth
- 3 cloves of garlic(minced)
- 1 tsp dried thyme(or 1 tbsp fresh)
- 1 tsp dried parsley(or 1 tbsp fresh)
- 1 tsp dried oregano(or 1 tbsp fresh)
- 1 tsp salt(optional)
- 1/2 tsp ground pepper
- 2 tbsp grass fed butter or avocado oil
Instructions
- Wash your carrots and celery then carefully chop and slice them into small pieces(I slice the carrots into rounds and cut the celery stalk in halves then slice into small pieces.)
- Take the yellow onion and cut the ends off and peel the out skin away. Slice and chop your onion into small pieces.
- Heat a 5 quart size pot on the stove over medium heat. Once heated, add the 2 tbsp butter or avocado oil along with the chopped onion, celery, carrots, minced garlic, thyme, parsley, and oregano.
- Sauté the veggies and spices stirring frequently for about 5 minutes, then add in the chicken broth, salt, and pepper.
- Take the chicken breasts and cut them into thirds then place in the pot. Bring the soup to a boil and then turn the heat down to low-medium and simmer for about 15 minutes.
- Take the chicken out of the pot making sure it is cooked completely and place in a bowl then set aside.
- Bring the soup back to a boil and add the pasta in and let cook for 10-12 minutes or until the noodles are soft.(make sure not to over cook the noodles or they will become mushy). Then take the pot off the heat.
- Shred the chicken using 2 forks or a hand mixer and then add to the soup.
- Serve and enjoy!
