chicken noodle soup

Happy December! My dear friend Amanda visited me a couple weeks ago and we decided to make some chicken noodle soup! Here's a basic idea of what went down in the kitchen. :o) It makes about 4 servings

Ingredients:
2 large chicken breasts
3 carrots
2 celery stalks
2-3 cans chicken broth
2 packages large frozen egg noodles

Boil your chicken breasts in water until done. Put them in a bowl and take two forks and shred the chicken. Meanwhile, bring to a simmer your broth, celery, and carrots. Add chicken and simmer for 45 minutes to an hour. Enjoy! It's really easy and basic, but yummy!
