Weight Watchers Recipe
Prep time: 18 min
Cook time: 11 min
Other time: 0 min

We gave ordinary chicken soup a hint of Thai spice by infusing the broth with freshly chopped lemon grass.
Ingredients
| 4 cup(s) canned chicken broth, or homemade broth |
| | 8 oz uncooked boneless skinless chicken breast(s), cut into 1/2-inch cubes |
| | 1 medium uncooked carrot(s), peeled and thinly sliced |
| | 1 rib(s) (large) uncooked celery, thinly sliced |
| | 1 small uncooked onion(s), finely chopped |
| 1 Tbsp lemon grass, fresh, finely chopped |
| 1/2 tsp table salt |
| 1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground |
| 1 cup(s) cooked egg noodles |
| 1 Tbsp fresh parsley, fresh, chopped |
Instructions
- Place broth, chicken, carrot, celery, onion, lemon grass, salt and pepper in a large saucepan. Slowly bring to a boil; reduce heat to a simmer and cook until chicken and vegetables are cooked through, about 8 minutes.
- Place 1/4 cup of noodles in each of 4 shallow bowls. Ladle about 1 1/2 cups of soup over each serving and garnish with parsley.
