Chicken Noodle Soup *

This is from the book "Family Comfort Favorites" by Kim Warren--- way easy

ingredients :

*8 cups chicken broth (we suggest 10-12 cups because it evaporates while pasta is cooking in it)
*4 cups of water
*1 to 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
*2 cups sliced carrots (if you want to add other vegetables that would also be good)
*1 Tbsp fresh Thyme leaves
*1 shallot finely diced or 1 small yellow onion
*1 clove garlic minced
*salt and pepper to taste
*Extra wide Egg noodles or 2 cups Country style dry egg noodles --(we used the country noodles and they were really good)

steps:
1: In a stock pot, combine chicken broth, water, chicken breasts, carrots, shallot (onion), garlic, and thyme.

2. Bring to a boil, then turn down to simmer about 20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.

3.Remove chicken from soup to cool. Season soup with salt and pepper as necessary.

4. Bring back to a boil and add noodles. Maintain a simmer until noodles are cooked through. While noodles are cooking, dice chicken and set aside. When noodles are done, return diced chicken to the pot. Garnish with another teaspoon or so of fresh thyme leaves and cook 2 minutes until chicken is warmed through.

5. Serve!
