  • 3 Stalks Celery Diced
  • 1 Cup Green Cabbage Chopped into bite sized pieces
  • 4 Large carrots Chopped into bite sized pieces
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 Cups chicken or vegetable stock
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Basil or 1/4 cup fresh basil chopped
  • 1 Tablespoon Italian Herbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt Plus more to taste
  • 3 Bay leaves
  • 1 Medium Chicken Breast
  • 1 1/2 Cups Alphabet Noodles
  • 1 Cup Milk of choice *If using an alternative milk like almond or soy then opt for a non flavored

Instructions

  • Cut all the Vegetables and try to make them all around the same size so they cook evenly.
  • In a stock pot heat up Olive Oil over medium high heat.
  • Add Onion, Zucchinis, Celery, Green Cabbage and Carrots and stir continuously for about 5 minutes or until the vegetables start to soften and get some color.
  • Add 6 Cup Chicken or vegetable stock, Dried Basil, Italian Herbs, Black pepper, Salt, Bay leaves and stir.
  • When the mixture reaches a boil, Reduce the heat to medium low and let it simmer for about 7 minutes.
  • In a frying pan, add the diced chicken breast and cook until cooked through and the outside begins to get some color.
  • Add 2 Cups of Chicken or Vegetable stock to the chicken pan and stir. (this is called de-glazing and will pick up all the flavor from the chicken)
  • Pour the Chicken Stock and cooked chicken to the stock pot with the vegetables that are simmering.
  • Add the Alphabet Noodles and cook for 4 or so minutes, or until the vegetable noodles are cooked. (you don't want to over cook them or they will dissolve into the soup)
  • Add the milk of Choice and stir. Taste the soup and see if additional Salt is needed. Enjoy!
