Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup

From Me...
10 cups of water
4 celery stalks
3 large carrots
1 large onion
3 T chicken flavoring paste
1 can of cream of chicken coup
dash of garlic powder or garlic salt
pinch of parsley flakes
dash of pepper
4 to 5 bay leaves
homemade noodles (you can also use store bought)
3 Chicken breasts (you can precook and shred these, or add them to the pot a few minutes before adding the veggie's) or I like to use 2 pints of homemade canned chicken (this tastes so great)


Chop all of the vegetables, boil everything together except the noodles, chicken (if pre-cooked) and the cream of chicken soup add these when veggie's are almost finished. 

This is great on a winter day and it feeds a bunch of people, I use my pressure cooker (the one that looks like a crock pot) for this meal and it turns out to be the perfect bowl of soup.  I suggest using homemade noodles, the flour on the noodles help to thicken the soup!
