Ingredients
  

Please note that these ingredients are a general suggestion. Feel free to add more or less to suit your taste. If you like more carrots, add more. Less noodles, go for it! Adapt it to the way you like it.

  • 1 whole chicken cooked
  • Broth from cooked chicken
  • 9 oz box of gluten free noodles I prefer these
  • 1 tbsp. oil organic refined coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 medium carrots peeled and chopped
  • 1/2 onion diced
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • Salt & Pepper to taste
  • 1/2 - 3/4 tsp poultry seasoning I use this one

Instructions
 

Cook chicken:

  • Cook whole chicken in instant pot or crock pot with enough water to cover about 1/2 of chicken. This allows extra liquid for the soup broth. Chicken should be cooked to a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (73.9 degrees Celsius).
  • I usually use my instant pot. A lot of times I will cook it earlier in the day and keep it on the warm function until I'm ready to assemble the soup.

Assemble soup:

  • Peel and chop carrots. Dice up onion and mince garlic.
  • Heat oil in Dutch oven or large kettle. Sauté carrots and onions, stirring frequently until they just start getting tender.
  • While veggies sauté, remove chicken from pot. Set on large pan or plate to cool enough to be able to handle.
  • Add minced garlic to carrots & onion. Sauté another minute. Pour in broth from instant pot or crock pot.
  • Bring broth and veggies to a boil. Stir in noodles and poultry seasoning. Turn heat to low and simmer noodles in broth for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. (I do break apart the noodles I suggest as I add them in because they are pretty long.)
  • While noodles are cooking, remove meat from bones. Cut meat into bite size pieces. After 10 minutes is up, stir in chicken. Heat through - usually about 5 more minutes.
  • Let soup sit until cool enough to serve and enjoy.
