To save cleanup time, cook the noodles first, and then use the same pot for the soup. Add the noodles to the soup just before serving so they don't absorb too much of the broth. You can bring the noodles to work in a zip-top plastic bag. Make the soup the night before, cool to room temperature, and refrigerate; reheat in the microwave or in a slow cooker set on HIGH. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil, divided |
1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs cut into 1-inch pieces |
1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces |
1 teaspoon salt |
6 cups water |
4 cups fat-free, lower-sodium chicken broth |
2 cups chopped onion |
1 cup chopped celery |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary |
1 (10-ounce) package preshredded carrot |
1 (8-ounce) package presliced mushrooms |
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh parsley |
1 (6-ounce) package fresh baby spinach |
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice |
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
4 cups hot cooked whole-wheat blend wide egg noodles (about 3 1/2 cups uncooked) |
Directions:
1. Combine noodles, oil, and 1/2 teaspoon salt; toss well to coat.
2. Combine water and next 6 ingredients (through chicken breast) in a large Dutch oven; add 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 30 minutes. Remove chicken from pan; cool slightly. Shred chicken with 2 forks.
3. Add carrot and mushrooms to pan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 6 minutes or until carrot is tender. Add shredded chicken, parsley, spinach, and remaining 1 teaspoon salt; cook 3 minutes or until spinach wilts. Stir in noodle mixture, lemon juice, and pepper. Cook 1 minute.
