This soup came about a couple of days ago when I decided to cook a Chicken noodle soup only to find out that I had no chicken. It’s the same soup only except the chicken that was replaced with chicken stock. I used angel hair for noodles but any small pasta would be fine. Not using chicken reduces the preparation time of this soup to ten minutes!

Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoon butter
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 3 carrots, peeled and sliced
• 3 celery stalks,  sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon thyme
• 8-10 cups chicken stock
• 2 angel hair nests (or 2 cups of any small pasta)
• salt and pepper to taste

How to make:  In a big pot, heat the butter and saute the veggies. First the onions for about 5 minutes. Then add the carrots , celery, garlic, and thyme. Cook for another 5-7 minutes. Add 8-10 cups of chicken stock and season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to boil, add the angel hair and cook for another 10 minutes.
