Cool Find for Cool Days

Fall is definitely in the air in South Florida. We woke up this morning to 44 degree weather. For South Florida that is cold. With cooler weather I'm always looking for foods that will warm the body and I just so happened to receive a recipe for Chicken Noodle Soup today. That was a bonus in and of itself, but it made it especially nice that it's a Crock Pot recipe. Let me tell you, the Fountain's love themselves Crock Pot meals. Well at least the Fountain that does the cooking does.
I decided to share my find with those of you that are looking for an easy meal that will warm you up on cool days.

Crock Pot Chicken Noodle Soup

Bonelss Chicken Breasts (3or4)

Chicken Broth (1 can)
Onion (1/2 of large)
Celery (3 or 4 stalks)
Garlic Cloves (2)
Carrots (approx. 2-3 cups)
Noodles (approx. 2/3 package)
Chicken Bouillon (6 cubes)
Water (8 cups, approximately)
Freshly ground pepper
Oregano, Basil, & Thyme (if desired)

Brown chicken breasts in a little olive oil. When the chicken breasts are golden, add chopped onion and garlic and saute until the onion is translucent. Turn off heat and transfer to bowl and let cool. Shred or chop chicken breasts into bite sized pieces. Then add all of the chicken breast, onion and garlic to crock pot. Add sliced carrots, chopped celery, chicken broth, chicken bouillon, water and spices. Let the soup cook all day while you are away or at home doing other things! About 15 minutes before serving, add noodles to soup. Enjoy!
