Aunt Imogene’s Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup

I have to confess that I'm not really good at being on time with posting the recipes that I mention on my radio segments. It is a process I haven't learned as yet to add recipes to the recipe section. However, I CAN add them to my blog and will get them in the right categories in time.

This recipe is one that I mentioned in segment "One Small Act."

Aunt IMO's Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup

1 tbsp. Butter

1 large onion, chopped

3 cups chopped cooked chicken

48 oz chicken broth

1 can cream of mushroom AND cream of chicken soup, undiluted

6 oz. Thin spaghetti, broken into 1" pieces

3 ribs celery, chopped

6 medium carrots, chopped

1 tsp grated lemon rind

2 cups milk

Salt and pepper to taste

Cheddar cheese, grated

Melt butter in Dutch oven over medium heat. And onion and celery. Sauté until onion is translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in chicken broth, chicken meat, and soups.

Add carrots and lemon rind.

Reduce heat and simmer for 45 minutes.

Stir in milk and spaghetti . Return to simmer until spaghetti is tender, then remove from heat and allow to stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Sprinkle with grated cheese after placing in serving bowl.

Confectionately Yours,
