Chicken Soup for the Soul, OK. Chicken soup for my sick Baby and Momma

Today my Mom woke up not feeling soo well..... GREAT. Then I pick up Kris from school and he tells me," I threw up at school today", even more GREAT. Hopefully this Chicken Noodle soup (my way) will help those tummies feel better.


I started off with a Costco Rotisserie chicken....... these Chickens are Amazing... you can do soo much with them and they are only $4.99 ! SCORE ` I take all the meat off the bones and use the bones to inhance the flavor of the broth by adding it to boiling water with chopped carrots, onions, celery, and bay leaf. I boil for about 1hour then remove it and strain good, reserving your stock to the side.

I start with a big pot..... saute a traditional mirepoix (carrots, onions, and celery) in butter... add 2 Bay Leaves. Cook about 5 minutes, then add 4 small chopped white potatoes with the skin, cook about 10-15 minutes until tender. 

Now to your stock(you should have about 6-8 cups) that you had reserved, add some chicken bouillon base, add a little bit at a time- to your liking. Add your mirepoix mix, add your shredded chicken, about 1/2 cup of your favorite small pasta (I used elbows) simmer until the pasta is al-dente..... lastly add a 15 oz can of creamed corn... add salt and pepper to your liking ! 

And there you have it, Chicken Soup.................. I topped mine with Parmesan crusted Croutons (homemade of course) SOUPer GOod :)
