Ingredients
  

  • 1 quart chicken broth 1 ½ tsp. cornstarch 1 ½ tsp. water
  • 2 cups cooked chicken cubed
  • 1 large white onion halved
  • 1 rib celery sliced
  • 1 large Carrot sliced
  • 1/2 cup frozen corn (or canned corn)
  • 1/2 cup frozen, cut green beans
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/2 tsp. dried tarragon
  • 1/3 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/8 tsp. hot pepper sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 3/4 cup uncooked noodles (I used sea shell pasta)
  • 1 1/2 tsp. cornstarch
  • 1 1/2 tap. water

Instructions
 

  • Place a large Dutch oven over medium to medium high heat.
  • Add chicken broth, chicken, onion, celery, carrot, corn, green beans and peas.
  • Add seasonings.
  • Bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 20-30 minutes or until veggies are tender.
  • Return pot to a boil.
  • Add noodles.
  • Reduce heat.
  • Cover and simmer noodles for 15 to 20 minutes, or until noodles are cooked through.
  • Combine cornstarch and water.
  • Mix until smooth.
  • Pour cornstarch mixture into soup.
  • Bring mixture to a boil.
  • Boil mixture for 2 minutes.
  • Stir constantly.
  • Break up the onion with a fork.
  • Remove bay leaf before serving.

Notes

NOTE: The noodles absorb a lot of the liquid. If desired, add an additional cup or two of chicken broth or water.
NOTE: I used 6-8 drops of hot sauce, but if you want a full, spicy, hot flavor, add the full 1/8 teaspoon of hot sauce.
