Chicken and Corn Soup

Yield: 6 to 8 servings

Level: Easy

Preparation time: 10 minutes

Cooking time: 25 minutes

5-1/2 cups chicken broth

1/2 pound boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces, or 1 cup cooked, cubed chicken

1-1/4 cups fresh corn kernels, or one 10-ounce package frozen corn kernels

2 ounces fine egg noodles, about 1-1/4 cups

Salt to taste, about 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 to 2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

1. In a large pot over medium heat, combine the broth, chicken, and corn. Cover partially and simmer or until the chicken is cooked, about 15 minutes.

2. Add the noodles and cook until the noodles are tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

3. Remove from the heat. Add the hard-boiled eggs and parsley.

Note: Hard-boiled eggs don't freeze well, so if you want to make a batch of this soup and freeze any leftovers, add the chopped, hard-boiled eggs to individual serving bowls, not to the pot. Then leftovers can be frozen without the eggs.
