Easy Chicken Noodle Soup

This is an easy version but if you have more time, use dark meat, esp. wings as they are said to have medicinal qualities.  It's also nice to make homemade stock by boiling the chicken with a quartered onion, a carrot, celery and peppercorns.

1 large breast boneless skinless chicken cooked and diced

1 T butter or olive oil

1 medium onion minced

1 t minced garlic

2 medium carrots diced

2 stalks celery diced

4 cups chicken stock

2 cups egg noodles

Chopped fresh parsley

Heat oil in soup pan. Sauté onion and then garlic until translucent. Add carrots and celery and cook until softened, 5-8 minutes.  Add stock and bring to a boil.  Add noodles and cooked chicken.  Garnish with fresh parsley.
