Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe

Nothing says cozy, comfy, happy home like a great homemade chicken noodle soup after a long, hard day. My happy hubby won’t eat canned soup anymore since I started using this recipe. There really is something special about making a soup from scratch. To me the taste is just something that cannot be attained from a can or at a greasy spoon diner. This is my version of the weight watchers classic 1pt recipe. The only thing I have changed is just using boneless, skinless chicken instead of a whole cut up chicken.


Ingredients:

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 medium Carrots — peeled and chopped
1/2 cup onion — peeled and chopped
2 Stalks celery — coarsely chopped
2 1/2 teaspoon Salt
2 teaspoon parsley
3/4 teaspoon marjoram
1/2 teaspoon basil
1/4 teaspoon Poultry seasoning
1/4 teaspoon Pepper
1 Bay leaf
2 qt Water
2 1/2 cups egg noodles


Directions:

Place the first 4 ingredients in a 3 1/2-quart slow cooker in the order listed. Combine salt and the next 6 ingredients; sprinkle over vegetables. Add 6 cups water; cover and cook on low setting for 8 to 10 hours. Remove chicken and bay leaf; add remaining 2 cups water. Stir in noodles and cook, covered, on high setting for 20 minutes. Meanwhile cut chicken into bite-size pieces. Add back to slow cooker, stir to mix. Cook for 15 minutes on high setting, covered or until noodles are tender.

LOW FAT HONEY BERRY PARFAIT

Nothing makes Mamma Bear calm down quickly like honey and berries. This is a yummy quick recipe that also has a lot of eye appeal. It makes me happier just seeing it in a pretty glass. It’s great for a quick breakfast or an evening snack. I have figured this to be about 150 calories of positive engine fuel, lol.

Ingredients:
½ cup of Berries (it can be any sweet berries you prefer – strawberries, blueberries, cranberries, raspberries or all of them combined)

Juice of ½ lime

2 tablespoons honey (for healthier option you reduce the amount of honey to 1 tablespoon)

1 cup of low fat cottage cheese (original, not flavoured)
Cereal ( I like honey bunches of O’s, but use what you like)

Directions:
Wash berries.

Blend berries until well blended and smooth. Put 2/3 of the berry mixture into the dessert class – it is the first layer of the dessert.

Mix and whip the cottage cheese, lime juice and honey. Add the mixture to the dessert glass. Our second layer is done.

Add cereal (the amount is just enough to create the third crispy layer).

Add the rest of berries to the dessert glass.

Decorate the dessert with berries and slices of lime.

Serve immediately.
