i messed up my chicken soup i should have waited before adding the noodles.instead of soup its slop :blushing: I'm not a cook what so ever..lol
4 cups of Swanson chicken broth
dash of black pepper
1 medium carrot(i used a small bag of baby carrots)
1 medium celery sliced (i used 2)
1/2 cup uncooked noodles( i did 8oz which was 1/2 the bag)
1 cup of shredded cooked chicken or turkey(i did 1.89lbs of chicken)
their cooking direction:
1. heat broth,black pepper,carrot and celery in 2qt. saucepan over medium-high heat to a boil.
2.stir in noodles and chicken in saucepan.reduce heat to medium cook 10 min.or until noodles are tender,stirring occasionally.
what i did was threw everything into the crock pot for 4-5 hours on low.my mistake was i should have waited 2 more hours to add the noodles. it looks gross but taste good almost taste like chicken and dumplings.
