Mumma's fast and easy Chicken noodle

 Im nearly halfway with my third pregnancy. It has been an interesting experience this time, with nausea, vomiting and exhaustion making themselves well known. That said things have been worse still this week with me coming down with a chest infection :(   

Juggling full time work, kids and household are hard enough - throw in a bountiful belly and you have one chaotic ride!

I believe in nourishing myself as much as my children, but it can be hard when your flat out! This receipe is one of my favs as its delish, he kids eat it (thank GAWD!) and the best part is its easy peasy!.... oh and did i mention AFORDABLE... gotta throw that in there!

You will need...

1 BBQ chook from the deli (ready cooked - pull it a part and put the chicken in a bowl aside)

1 Large vegetable stock

1 large chicken stock

1 tub of leggos pizza sauce - i use the garlic, onion and herb variety

1/2 a celery - finely sliced

either a bunch of spinach or a bunch of kale - finely sliced ( i used the spinach this times, as it looked nice on the                                                                                day and we hadn't had it in a while)

cloves of garlic to suit you - finely chopped

1/3 bunch of parsley - finely chopped

2 cups of water

1/2 a pack of angel hair pasta

1 leek or some eshallots depending on whats in stock - finely sliced

Deep soup pan/pot

Method

With some oil fry off the garlic and eshallots until soft. 

Add your stock, paste, celery, parsley, chicken & spinach and bring to boil.

Turn to simmer and add Angel hair pasta. Once the pasta is cooked, you can decide if you would like to add water - i tend to as i like my soup more broth like, however it purely comes to preference, also the past can absorb a little bit of water so thats another reason i tend to add some more.

Let the pot simmer for a little while - we usually serve with garlic bread so i let it simmer while im organising that and the table, kids etc.

Serve with garlic bread or some crusty fresh goodness from your local!

It keeps well, I wack it in containers in the freezer and take it to work if i make a large batch, but generally it gets eaten.... the noodles is what does it i think... what kid can say no to noodles ;)
