What says comfort food better then a big bowl of chicken and noodles??  As I said in an earlier post about being somewhat of a meatloaf snob just because I think mine is the best I feel,  the same way about my chicken and noodles.  I did however, try a new meatloaf recipe it's posted here a few posts down.   I still, think mine is better :)  That being said decided to try something new this recipe comes from www.allrecipes.com .


                                                   Incredibly Easy Chicken and Noodles

1 (26 oz.) can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 (10.75 oz.) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
3 (14.5 oz.) can chicken broth
2 c. diced, cooked chicken breast meat
2 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. seasoning salt
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
2 (9 oz.) package frozen egg noodles

In a large pot, mix the chicken soup, mushroom soup, chicken broth, and chicken meat.  Season with onion powder, seasoning salt, and garlic powder.  Bring to a boil, and stir in the noodles.  Reduce heat to low, and simmer 20-30 minutes.

My Note:  I made this recipe almost exactly with just a couple of exceptions.  Even tho,  when I use the "cream of soups" I use fat free I thought the 26 oz. can cream of chicken was a bit excessive.  I just used a single can.  I only had a 24 oz. bag of frozen noodles so, I added 2 more cups of chicken stock.  I also, like my noodles just a bit more tender then the 20-30 minute time called for in the recipe.  I actually cooked them for around an hour.

I'm somewhat of a purist when it comes to chicken and noodles and don't really think they need all the cream of soups just, chicken stock, chicken, salt, pepper, garlic, and noodles.  However, this was quite tasty and if ate very often would definitely  put meat on your bones :)  I'll keep this one in the recipe box tho as a comfort, comfort meal for cold winter nights.  Enjoy!!!!
