Chicken Noodle Soup

I like to boil my own chicken breast with chicken bouillon, then use that as the chicken broth.

In a large stockpot, combine 1 cup diced celery, 1 cup sliced carrots, 1 cup sliced onions with 7 cups chicken broth. Season with 1 teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons poultry seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder. Cook until vegetables are tender.

Once vegetables are tender, add about 2/3 of a 16 oz. package of egg noodles. Simmer until noodles are cooked.

Add cooked and diced chicken breasts and 1/2 cup of heavy cream. Allow chicken to heat thoroughly and adjust seasonings if needed.

Serve with crusty bread or with saltine crackers.
