Easy Chicken Noodle Soup

I've been sick for several days, and craving really good....non-canned....chicken noodle soup. After discussing with Hil-girl (my mom) how she makes her soup (it takes roughly 2 hours) i decided to use inspiration from hers to create my own that takes 20 minutes, rather than 2 hours. It was cheap, it was easy, and it has lasted me a couple days and is really, really great.

INGREDIENTS
-2 cans of Swanson chicken broth
-2 or 3 celery stalks
-2 whole carrots
-1 large yellow onion
-4 Mushrooms of any kind
-Whole grain rotini noodles
-1 cup of water
-salt
-pepper
-fresh dill
-1 or 2 chicken breasts

You could make this soup if you've never made anything before in your life. Get a nice sized pot and fill it with 2 cans of broth, a 1/2 cup of soup, the chopped up celery, chopped up carrot, mushrooms sliced in 1.2, and your onion just sliced in 1/2.

Bring to a boil, and then let simmer.

In a pan, cook your chicken until it is browned and white on the inside. cut it into chunks, slices, or however you like it. Drop the chicken into the pot.

Meanwhile, have some whole wheat rotini cooking. Once it is softened throw it into the pot. Bring everything back to a boil, and then back to a simmer. Let it sit on a simmer for 10 to 15 minutes.

Enjoy.
