Mmmm, Mmmm, Good!

Well, I'm sure you've all seen CNN and The Weather Channel and know they are now using the "B" word... yes, BLIZZARD conditions in St. Louis.  So, definitely time for some chicken noodle soup.  I went to the local grocery before the ice started coming down and got this recipe for my soup (it's only 115 calories per serving, so Jenny would be proud!):

Ingredients:  1 (32 oz) carton chicken broth; 2 cups water; 1 medium carrot; 1 medium celery rib; 1 medium onion; 1 tsp dried marjoram; 1 bay leaf; 1/4 tsp pepper; 2 cups cooked chicken; 1/2 cup uncooked egg noodles; 2 tbsp fresh parsley

1. In a large pot, combine broth, water, carrot, celery, onion, marjoram, bay leaf and pepper.  Bring to boiling. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 10 minutes.
2. Increase heat to medium-high; return to boil.  Add chicken, noodles and parsley. Return to boil. Reduce heat to medium. Cook 15 minutes or until noodles are tender. Remove and discard bay leaf before serving.

Here's a picture of my YUMMY bowl of soup:

Might I add, my husband has lost his mind!  He's trying to "stay ahead of the storm" by clearing our cars and driveway every hour or so.  Here's proof:
Hugs to everyone... from the FROZEN LAND...
