Chunky Chicken Noodle Soup

I used to think making soup took all day. This takes minutes, especially if you cook the chicken in advance. I buy large packs of chicken, divide them up and cook in my pressure cooker, then freeze. You can also bake in the oven, grill them, whatever you like. That way, this is a VERY simple meal. AND, it's only 78 calories per cup! Hits the spot during this long, cold winter.

1/2 cup diced carrot
1/4 cup diced celery
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 tsp butter
6 cups chicken broth
1 1/2 cups diced cooked chicken
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp dried marjoram
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/8 tsp pepper
1 1/4 cups medium egg noodles

In a large saucepan or dutch oven, saute carrot, celery & onion until tender. Add broth, chicken and seasonings; bring to a boil. Reduce heat. Add noodles, cook for 10 minutes or until tender.

6 servings.
