Need a tasty chicken soup recipe

Made pea and ham today with some left overs from a ham joint. Diced 3 carrots and an onion added the ham, 250g of split yellow peas (green are better but had run out) 2 chicken stock cubes and 3 or 4 pints of water depending on how thick you like it. There was enough for 3 of us with some left for tomorrow. To ring the changes with chicken I like to add some kaffir lime leaves, lemon grass and a little fresh red chilli. Just before serving add some vermicelli rice noodles and stir 2 beaten eggs in slowly

I used to go full on old fashioned Jewish chicken soup style until I tried it with just chicken breast and it was delish.

Now I make mine quick and simple with skinless boneless chicken breast and rice. I use McCormick chicken base to add a bolder chicken flavor. Stove top cook and you can add either rice or pasta...whatever you preference. Takes about an hour and freezes well.

6 Skinless boneless chicken breast
2 medium onions - chopped
2 to 3 cups carrots - chopped
2 to 3 cups celery - chopped
handful parsley - chopped
handful dill - chopped
5-6 Tablespoons (or to taste) McCormick Chicken Base
16-20cups water (may have to add post cooking)
Shake of garlic powder
1 1/2 cups basmati rice
Lemon (optional)

Boil chicken breasts, skimming foam, for about 30 minutes, add everything else except rice and lemon. Continue cooking on medium heat for another 20-30 minutes *until veggies are tender*and then remove the chicken breast to dice. Mine shreds more than it dices but still good either way. Add rice and cook another 10 minutes just until rice is tender. The rice tends to soak up the broth and it gets thick as it sits...I always add a little water.

We like it with a squeeze of lemon!

Enjoy

We love this one but I apologize that I never measure when I cook.

Cook chicken breasts in chicken broth with dill, onion, carrots and celery. Shred chicken and put back into broth. Can season with salt and pepper. About 10 mins before you want to eat, add egg noodles. It is the best soup we have had and so easy. I don't see why you couldn't do it in the crockpot. I make a TON at a time though because it freezes really well.
