All it takes is to see my little girls sick for me to wish I had some Green Mile skills to pull them out of whatever funk they’re in. Instead, all I could manage was to make them some homemade chicken noodle soup. I guess that beats death row voodoo any day.

This was such an easy soup to pull together even including roasting the chicken. If you don’t want to roast your own though, just pick up a precooked one from your local supermarket and shred it yourself.
Chicken Noodle Soup {via Ina Garten Barefoot Contessa Family Style}
2 chicken breasts, bone in, skin on
Olive oil
2 quarts (8 cups) chicken stock (calls for homemade, I just used canned)
1 cup medium-diced celery (2 stalks)
1 cup medium-diced carrots (3 carrots)
2 cups wide egg noodles
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Place the chicken breast on a sheet pan and rub the skin with olive oil. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, until cooked through. When cool enough to handle, remove the meat from the bones, discard the skin, and shred or dice the chicken meat.
Bring the stock to a simmer in a large pot and add the celery, carrots, and noodles. Simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes, until the noodles are cooked. Add the cooked chicken and parsley and heat through.
Season to taste and serve.
No worries. Our resident carnivore took care of it.

I know this has nothing to do with the recipe, but you have such gorgeous children, masha'Allah!
I hope your baby feels better soon. Masha'Allah, your girls are GORGEOUS! Also, I love their names. I just got done reading a book called Morning in Jenin. It was an amazing read. Fiction, but I'm sure much of the events really occurred.

@Em Malik – Thank you! I have a Canon Rebel xsi.
@Elisa – Thank you! My sister recently bought me that book. I haven't had the chance to start reading it yet. My daughter is named for that city. My husband was born and raised there.
I came over from The Girl Creative because your soup photo is beautiful! We made chicken noodle soup this week, too, though it was a little different. My meat-loving daughter is about the same age as yours!
that pic of little miss and the chicken all over the table is HILARIOUS!
I love Ina's recipes… looks delicious. Great shots of the soup (and your cute girls. Hope they feel better.)
Thank you for the recipe! I love Ina and cannot wait to make it. Also, loved the photos…I have two granddaughters that might have the same reactions!
