Simple Chicken Noodle Soup

The hubby was home sick with a sore throat all last week, so I thought I'd make the extra effort and make him some homemade chicken noodle soup.  After the first bite, he looked over at me adoringly and said, "I remember why I married you."  Ha ha!
What's better than chicken noodle soup on the first snowy day of the year?  Eating it with someone who loves you and your mad cooking skills. 
Thanks to AllRecipes.Com for the recipe.

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1/2 cup chopped celery
• 4 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth (or 6 cups of water and 5 chicken boullion cubes)
• 1/2 pound chopped cooked chicken breast
• 1 1/2 cups egg noodles (I used macaroni noodles, cause that's all I had)
• 1 cup sliced carrots
• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Bring a small pot of water to a boil, and pre-cook your noodles until almost al dente.
2. In a large pot over medium heat, melt butter.
3. Cook onion, celery and carrots in butter until just tender, 5 minutes.
4. Pour in chicken and vegetable broths and stir in chicken, carrots, basil, oregano, salt and pepper.
5. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes.
6. Add in your noodles to soak up some flavor, simmer for 5 more minutes, then serve.
