MOMS CHICKEN SOUP

I grew up on this chicken soup:}.Very easy!!!Alittle time consuming:\.In a very big pot throw in 2 pkg chicken breast(any chicken will do but I like the breast(as in chicken;] ) cause its easier to strain and you have lots of good white meat for soup or salad etc).throw in one bag peeled carrots,1 large onion chopped in half and about 3 tbl.spoons salt(probably a heck of alot more salt but i dont want to scare you:o),wee bit pepper.Cover with water till about 2 inches from top of pot and bring to a boil.Now skim the nasty fat stuff that floats to the top .Cover leaving a crack open and simmer(lower heat) for about 3 hours(hense time consuming:{ )Stir once in a blue after 3 hours or so strain your soup(carefully) into another large pot.Remove from strainer the carrots and meat.

now its really up to you what ya wanna do but i put carrot whole back into the strained soup and keep the meat out in a bowl

meat(looks freaky but taste good (really;])

once soups back to a boil you can add what ever pasta you like.my mom always used broken up spaghetti so thats what i like(bite size pieces,alittle less than the whole box)If you are going to give some as a gift you might want to leave pasta out so it doesnt absorb to much soup and get all blown up etc.)i like to give it in a large mason jar.they can add their own when they are ready to dig in.

Now you feed your family:}.Today I fed my Pop:}(hes to cute!!!).If someone likes meat in theirs I break up the cutlets and throw it in their soup.If they dont like carrots I just keep it out of their serving(thats why I leave them whole so its easier to leave out.If you have little ones put carrots in blender and throw back in their soup.They'll just think the soup is a cool color,heehee).Feel free to freeze left overs(if there are any:}

Note=If it doesnt taste right keep adding more salt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!;]
