Chicken Noodle Sausage Soup  

My Chicken Noodle Sausage Soup recipe is so tasty – you may never make Chicken Noodle soup the same way again! Chicken broth is sooooo good anyway, and homemade chicken noodle has been a favorite of mine since I was young and my mom made it for me, or my grandma made it with her signature dumplings! I think if you make this for your family that they will ask for it all the time!

Here’s the ingredients you’ll need for this recipe:

• About 1.5 lbs of boneless skinless chicken
• 2 or 3 brat size links of mild sweet turkey italian sausage
• 3-4 carrots cut into round slices about 1/8″ thick
• About 1 lb wide egg noodles
• 4 stalks celery chopped
• 3-4 cloves garlic freshly chopped
• 1/2 large onion chopped
• 1 can chicken broth
• 1/2 large green pepper chopped
• 4 tsp Italian Seasonings
• salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tsp Cumin
• 2 tsp onion powder (not salt)
• 2 tsp garlic powder (not salt)
• 1 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese

This recipe is pretty easy in my opinion. Drizzle some extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet, turn the heat on med-high and add the chicken. Fill 4 quart stockpot 3/4 full with water and place on burner on high heat to boil. I sprinkle some lemon pepper on my chicken while it cooks 5-7 minutes on the first side. Then I start chopping up the veggies and add them to the pot of boiling water, and all the seasonings as well. Then I go back to the skillet and flip my chicken over, and then take my turkey sausage and squeze it out over the chicken. Then I start to chop up the chicken roughly with my spatula – the same as you would chop up ground beef for tacos. Trust me, as the chicke starts to cook it’s not hard to break it up into bite sized pieces with the spatula.

So you’ve got all the veggies and spices in the pot of water and the chicken sausage in the skillet. Once the chicken mixture is about 80% cooked, dump the entire skillet into the water pot, and simmer with the lid off at least an hour (I prefer 90 minutes). When you serve this, liberally sprinkle the freshly grated parmesan cheese over the top and voila! one of the more tasty meals you’ll have!
