chicken noodle soup

(note: no measurements are followed exactly on this recipe...at my house anyway!)

1 broiler/fryer chicken

2 1/2 quarts water

1/2 medium onion, chopped

3 tsp salt

2 tsp chicken oxo

pepper to taste

1/4 tsp marjoram

1/4 tsp thyme

1 bay leaf

1 1/2 cups fine uncooked egg noodles

1 cup chopped carrots

1 cup chopped celery

I add curry as well (Epicure Madras curry is mild and flavorful)

In stock pot combine the first 9 ingredients. Bring to a boil. Simmer a couple hours and then debone chicken. Add the rest of the ingredients except noodles. Cook these and add just before serving. Simmer soup until done. Sooo good. 8-10 servings. This would work great to can without noodles.
