Mom's Chicken Soup

I love this recipe. It takes about 1 1/2 from start to finish but reheats really well. I usually make this on a weekend and eat during the week.

Items You'll Need:
1 whole chicken ( I usually get a small whole chicken)
1 green pepper
1 handful of green onions
1 bag small baby carrot
1 bag of Kluski Noodles
Better than Bullion "Chicken"
Season Pepper (It has a blue cap in the seasoning isle)
Salt

Optional ingredients:
Green Beans
Corn
Peas

Directions:
Follow directions for how much for the Better Than Bullion for how much water you have in your pot. I usually use about 3Tbs
1.Fill pot of water and put in Better Than Bullion and about 2 Tbs of Season Pepper and a dash of salt: bring to boil
2.Put in whole chicken bring it down to medium heat for about 40 - 45 minutes
3.While chicken is cooking, cut up green pepper and onion and put in pot
4.When chicken is done, take out and put aside to cool a few minutes.
5.Keep pot with water, onion and green pepper and add your veggies and 1/2 the bag of noodles ... keep water at simmer for about 15 minutes
6.Take chicken off bones. I usually just use the breast meat and some of the dark meat from the thighs. I just get at what's easy. Cut up chicken and put in pot.

READY TO EAT!!

Did I invite enough people???

OK ... so i invited a few of you to be authors as well. I guess the point to this is to find a place to go get some easy, great food ideas. It does not necessarily have to be meatless, just healthy meals that are easy to fix (Therese ... am I on the right track??) Anyway, I hope you all help out and keep on posting some great ideas!!

What's To Eat

My sister informed me today that there was a huge meat recall. As I am not one to stay up on current events, her stories made me a little uneasy. Her daughter Olivia and her were thinking of trying to eat less meat and choose healthier meatless meals. So I am putting this out there as a forum for anyone to suggest good tasting, healthy meals. Any suggestions???
