My easy-peasy chicken soup. Nothing fancy but quick. I think I originally found the method on a website searching for soup but don't know who to credit it to since it is so easy and I modify it and eyeball amounts.
This may work well for the shelter because it is so flexible.
-Cooked chicken - I've used anything from a boneless breast I sautéed, rotisserie chicken, canned chicken meat, to chickens I defrosted then didn't have time to deal with so just poached in the crock post. Just shred or cut it up.
-Chicken stock - I usually use stock in a box.
-Frozen veggies - anything you want. I usually buy mixed or soup blend. Its all about quick and easy, but you can use fresh, you just have to add them first since they need to cook longer than frozen.
-Noodles - I use bow ties but other types can work. Just make sure the type of noodles will stand up to reheating or plan to only add to what you what you are serving at that time.
-salt and pepper to taste
-any other spices you want (optional)
Put everything in the pot except noodles and heat it up. Add noodles and cook as long as the noodles need.
Some things to consider for modifications:
-If using fresh veggies, put those into the stock to cook until they soften up before adding the chicken, then noodles.
-For a big batch being used over multiple days or freezing, don't add the noodles until you use it. That way the consistency of the noodles will be better.
-If you plan on adding the noodles later you can also cut down on the amount of stock and add more of that when you reheat it. I do this so it takes less freezer space.
