Homemade Chicken Soup

Since it is getting cold here in Texas I thought a soup recipe would be fitting. This soup is great for kids, colds, or husbands that you just want to shut up ;-) My mom makes it for me everytime I get sick!

Momma's Chicken Soup
Serving Size 2

1 Bone In Chicken Breast
2 Boxes Organic Chicken Broth
2 tblspn Butter
2 cloves Garlic
1 Onion (chopped)
3 Carrots (chopped)
3 Celery Stalks (chopped)
2 Eggs
1 Package of Pastinas (small round pasta)
Pepper and Salt to taste

Salt and Pepper chicken and place in Dutch oven. Brown Chicken in dutch oven or large pan over medium-high heat. That should take abotu 10 minutes on each side. The inside will not be cooked. Remove chicken from pot.

Add Butter, garlic, onion, celery, and carrots to pot. Let cook for 10 minutes being careful not to let the garlic or onions brown, make sure to stir every so often. Once the onions, carrots and celery have become tender add chicken broth and chicken. Let simmer on low for 30-45 minutes making sure to stir every so often.

After 30 min remove onions, carrots and celery (optional) and take chicken from broth. In a seperate pan cook the pastinas as per package. Once onion, carrots and celery have been removed, take chicken off the bone and into shredded pieces and place back in broth.

Once the pastina is cooked add it to the chicken and broth. Crack 2 eggs directly into the pot. It will give the effect of a Chinese Egg Drop soup. It will rise to the top and automatically scramble. Stir the soup and Serve Hot!
