Get you a pot and pan heat it up okay so just to let you guys know I got this pot over here on a simmering heat until I’m ready to really get things heated up and in this pan over here I’ve got it on a

Medium low heat there we go now over to my prepping area we’re really getting things heated up before I tell you about all these vegetables let me tell you about this chicken right here so what we have here is roughly two to two-and-a-half pounds of chicken breasts

Now you can go with boneless chicken thighs or whatever kind of chicken you please and now look I know some of you guys gonna be like well if you’re gonna make chicken noodle soup then you need to make the stock yourself because if you don’t make a stock I feel you buddy

So anyway we’re gonna go with this white breast meat right here we’re gonna cut it up into some cubes and we’re gonna roll from there everything is gonna be all right and there we go so now we’re gonna season this we’ve got to throw in here 1 tablespoon of Cajun

Seasoning and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder now we’re gonna get our hands up in there and mix it all around and there you go so we’ll cover this up with some foil and move it to the fridge until we’re ready for it ok guys onto the vegetables so what we

Have here a bunch of green onions 3 sticks of celery 3 carrots a handful of parsley a green bell pepper and 1 large Vidalia onion so for this carrot and celery we’re going to cut those into some larger pieces you know some bite-size pieces I’ll chop up the green

Onion finely chop the parsley and chop up the bell pepper don’t worry buddy we’re going to get to you too and there you go so now we’re going to get this into our pot so to our pot right here we are adding 2 32 ounce containers of chicken

Stock 1 2 and then we will add 2 cups of water next we will add in the vegetables calm down and we’ll scoop that in okay so we’re gonna raise our fire on this we’re gonna get this to a boil and then we’ll cover and lower to a simmering

Heat now over to our pan right here we’re gonna drop in 1/2 stick of butter once the butter is melted drop in the chicken there we go it always somebody got to give me a hard time all right let’s get this moving around probably raise the heat a little

Bit to like a medium heat here that way it can really get a nice sear on it once we get it kind of cooking well let it sit for a little bit remember when this reaches a boil we cover it up and lower to simin heat one

Hour all right while that is cooking we got some business to attend to being you partner you thought you could escape the wrath of the pea well you got another thing coming son – oh yeah that money’s didn’t stand a chance I better clean this up before my wife gets

Home alright this looks great so we’re gonna start removing this and putting it into a container off to the side here you see a little pink that’s okay because it’s gonna cook down in the soup as well all right let’s get that goodness up with these on yawns let’s

Get to work look at that look at that see this part is just so awesome because those onions just get everything up 90 the Browning of the onions okay so at this point I’m a go ahead and lower the fire a little bit maybe a medium low

Kind of heat so that way these onions would kind of just slow cook and somewhere they burn to the bottom you know all right while those onions are sauteing we’re gonna cut up these four cloves of garlic and there you go let’s throw this in the pan some mix this

Around for a couple minutes here let them flavors incorporate so just to let you guys know I decided to go with a Vidalia Onion because it’s a sweeter onion and when you’ve got that good salty sweet combination going in a soup man it is really good now it’s not gonna

Be too sweet so don’t get all freaked out by it but it’s gonna give this nice salty hint of sweetness savory flavor that you’ll really enjoy okay so I’m gonna add a little bit of water down here that way I can kind of stir the bottom here and break everything up and

Then add on this to my pot open this up yeah that’s looking good I’ll try to get this in here in best we can show you guys all right so I’m out to turn the camera off and scoop that in that’s looking nice you know that beautiful amount of vegetables in there

And that is what you want to man if you want a good hearty chicken noodle soup that has great health benefits this is it right here so we’re gonna go ahead and raise the fire back up again just to get it back up to little boil and then

Once we see it slightly boiling we’ll go ahead and cover it back up and lower to simmer mmm there we go cover this up and lower to a simmering heat and just let this ride out we got about and see you at 23 more minutes that’ll work okay the 1

Hour is up good okay so now we’re gonna add the chicken in there gently if you can so hard when you got one camera in your hand and one cup of chicken any other Bowl the chicken there we go I’m gonna take a little bit of this in there like that

Just kind of let that uh pull around this we can get everything up in that law bowl there we go man you can see the color really starting to come through there that is beautiful all right so we got a lot of liquid in here even though we seasoned up the

Chicken we need to add a little bit of flavor to this broth I’m going 1/2 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning 1 teaspoon of salt and 2 bay leaves all right let’s raise the heat right here gonna get this back up to a boil now if you don’t want to add that last

Bit of salt that’s up to you you may want to just taste it and see I know every different Cajun seasoning has different levels of sodium so you know just make it your own so this is looking like it’s boiling right here I’m gonna go ahead and cover this up and lower our

Heat to a simmering Heat and we will let that cook for one more hour okay so we got about 10 minutes left here and I’m gonna go ahead and add in our pasta safe to get your bay leaves out two of you see them written bad boys

All right so we are adding in six ounces of extra wide egg noodle pasta now I’m going with six ounces here because it will expand and will soak up some liquid we still want a good soup you know and it’ll be pretty good in there it doesn’t

Look like much here but once it cooks you’ll see so we’re just gonna let this continue to cook probably 10 to 15 minutes maybe because we’re going to keep that simmering heat and we’ll just keep coming back and checking it and you just you taste your pasta as you come

Back and check if it’s if it’s still kind of hard you just keep letting it cook and now once you get it to that desired consistency you close up shop turn everything off and you eat let’s let this cook let’s take a look at this oh my man does

That look good I tell you what ladies and gentlemen it’s time to hold up man not only does this look amazing it smells so good this broth looks really good I mean look at the color today you guys can see that right there that is really pretty I had

To let it sit for a little bit because it was so high but thanks good enough now a little bit of steam I can handle that that just had this really good rich savory flavor I mean everything has come together that Cajun seasoning the garlic powder all the vegetables have created

Their own broth mixed in with the chicken stock it just has this really good rich savory flavor it’s unlike any regular old chicken noodle soup out of the can I’ll tell you that much it’s really good that is just a liquid health benefits right there ladies and

Gentlemen well all right guys I hope you give this a try and hope you let me know how it comes out if you’re feeling down and under the weather that is your dish but all along thank you all once again for tuning in and I’ll see you next time
