Notes

  • Cut the onions and celery thin so they cook faster. If you rather have crunchy veggies you can either cut bigger chunks or not cook them as long
  • Be sure and put the noodles in only after it has began to boil and turn off the heat as soon as the noddles are cooked. If cooked too long the noodles will get too soggy
  • If you are wanting to freeze this soup for later don't add the noddles to the soup. Once ready to eat defrost in the refrigerator and after heating add cooked noodles.
