This was just to use up some leftover turkey I had in the freezer from Christmas, but everyone loved it and gobbled it right up! I think the alphabet noodles made it much more enticing.
Alphabet soup
- 8 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups diced celery
- 1 cup diced onion
- 3 cups baby carrots, chopped
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 pound chopped, cooked chicken meat (2 cups)
- 1 (16 ounce) package frozen petite peas
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp. herbs de provence
- 1 1/2 cups little alphabet noodles (or whatever you have)
- In a large stock pot add chicken broth, celery, onion, baby carrots, and garlic. Add 2 cups water. Simmer until vegetables are tender, about 2 hours.
Add chicken and peas. Season with salt, pepper, herbs. Simmer for 30 minutes, checking to see if water level has decreased. Add water if needed.
Bring to a boil, add noodles, stirring often. Noodles should be done in 20 minutes. Serve hot.
(I also added some red kidney beans I had on hand)
