chicken noodle soup.

this is my mom's semi-homemade recipe. and honestly, it's pretty darn weight watchers friendly. you can change the amount of chicken or noodles to change total POINTS value. also, if you're like me, then you can remove the whole veggies for a plain chicken soup..or if you are like my hubs, you can chop them up if you like that in your soup.

4-5 boxes of low soldium chicken broth (i just used store brand)
2 lbs chicken breast, trimmed
G. Washington's Seasoning packet or 1 Tbsp similar all purpose seasoning (i can't find GWashington's here)
onion, cut or whole
celery, cut or whole
carrots, cut or whole

place all ingredients into a large stock pot. bring to a boil, then let simmer until chicken is fully cooked. add water & lower heat if liquid begins to evaporate.
serve with whole wheat noodles or cous cous. add whole wheat/high fiber bread or sandwhich thins for an extra 1 point.
POINTS value: 6
3 oz chicken (i take mine out, pat dry with a paper towel & then weigh on a scale) = 3 pts
1 cup whole wheat pasta/cous cous = 3 pts
broth = 0 pts
