Ingredients

  • 48 ounces low fat low calorie chicken broth (I use Swanson at about 15 calories per cup)
  • 3 stalks celery, chopped
  • 12 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 14 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 14 ounces cubed chicken breasts (all fat removed)
  • 1 (16 ounce) cansliced carrots, drained
  • 4 ounces egg noodles

Method

  • Place celery in a microwavable container and slightly cover with water.
  • Cover and microwave for about 3 minutes.
  • Then transfer to a soup pot.
  • Add cubed chicken, ginger and pepper to pot with celery.
  • Add enough of the broth to slightly cover the chicken and celery.
  • Bring to a boil and cover.
  • Reduce heat and simmer until chicken is tender and no longer pink; about 20-30 minutes.
  • When chicken is cooked add remaining broth and carrots.
  • Return to a boil and add the egg noodles.
  • Cook until noodles are tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Salt can be added as needed but prepackaged chicken broth is often salty enough by itself.
