chicken noodle soup

A friend of mine just had a baby and has been having some medical issues. One of the things she has had to do is have a liquid diet, so I brought her some soup. 

One problem. 

I HATE brothy soups! My soups need substance. 

I checked out one of my SIL blogs and found this little gem. I didn't have a few ingredients, so I made do with what I had. This recipe is the one I made with my little tweaks. 

Lime Chicken Noodle Soup

9 cups water

9 chicken bouillon cubes

1 can cream of chicken soup

3 cooked, diced chicken breasts

1 tsp onion powder

3 large carrots, chopped

2 stalks celery, chopped

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp salt

1 tsp pepper

1/4 tsp thyme

2 TBSP parsley

1 TBSP lime juice

1 box of Rotini noodles, cooked

Combine water and cubes in large pot and dissolve. Stir in soup. Add chicken, onion, carrot, celery, and seasonings. Cook noodles according to package directions. In the meantime, simmer until carrots are still tender and add noodles. Serve.

My SIL is crazy talented in EVERYTHING she touches. I would add a link to her blog, but she's private. So, instead, here is a link to her etsy shop: A Bit of String. It is AMAZING!!
