Ingredients2 skinless chicken breasts
1 c. noodles (use those made without egg yolks, if possible)
1/4 c. rice
Small onion, chopped fine
Mrs. Dash, black pepper and garlic to taste
Preparation:
Cut chicken in bite size pieces. Put in soup pot with quart of water. Add the finely chopped onion and simmer for 20 minutes. Add noodles, rice and seasonings. Cover and simmer for 20 more minutes. May need to add more water depending on consistency desired. I like to add the rice to give the soup a little more body.
