1cup water
2 carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
2 stalks celery, sliced
1med. size onion, chopped
about 2 cups cooked, shredded (or chopped up) chicken. You can get a roasted chicken in the supermarket and put the extra in the fridge for something tomorrow night or maybe lunch at work or school.
¼-1/3 pound(s) egg noodles
1 TBSP. dried parsley
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
¼ cup white wine (optional)
In a 4 or 5 qt. pot, bring stock, water, carrots, celery, and onion to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in chicken, noodles and parsley; cover pot and continue to simmer 7 minutes, or until noodles are just tender, stirring occasionally. Add salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls.

SERVE IT UP!!! With some good crusty bread, maybe some salad and maybe the rest of that white wine!
