Best Chicken Noodle Soup Ever

If you like a kick to it...add another 1/2 tsp. of each paperika and pepper and a small can of chopped jalepenos.

Bring chicken broth to boil in a large pan, add noodles to cook. Boil until soft. While liquid is boiling peel and shred chicken. Add chicken, veggies, soup. Let it simmer for a while. This usually makes a large enough amount that I freeze half and pull it out when we are sick!
