21 Day Fix Approved Chicken Noodle Soup

 

Chicken Noodle Soup is one of my favorite foods! And it is awesome that with just a few little tweaks, I can make this approved for my 21 Day Fix Meal Plan! This takes me 15-20 minutes to prepare and I get about 4 meals out of it! Enjoy!

 

For my Fixers one serving equals 2 greens, 1.5 yellows and 1 red

What you need:

• 1/2 c chopped onion
•  1 minced garlic clove
• 2 c sliced celery
• 4 cups of low sodium organic chicken broth
• 3 cups of chopped rotisserie chicken breast (boneless, skinless)
• 2 c sliced carrots (or if you are lazy like me, you buy the bag of carrot chips!)
• 1 1/4 c of cooked whole wheat pasta

What you need to do:

1. In a large pot - toss in the onion, garlic, celery, broth, chicken and carrots.
2. Heat on high until boil
3. After boil, reduce to low and cover for 30 min (or until carrots are soft)
4. Measure out 1 yellow of pasta and put into a bowl.
5. Top with soup (about 1-1.25 cups)
