Total Time Prep: 15 min. Cook: 50 min.

Yield 12 servings (about 4 quarts)

This chicken corn soup stands up no matter the weather. It's cozy enough for cold winter nights and light enough for cool spring evenings.

Ingredients

1 medium onion, chopped
2 celery ribs, chopped
1 cup shredded carrots
2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
3 chicken bouillon cubes
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
12 cups water
2 cups uncooked egg noodles
2 cans (14-3/4 ounces each) cream-style corn
1/4 cup butter
Optional: Celery leaves and coarsely ground pepper

Directions

Place first 8 ingredients in a Dutch oven; bring slowly to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until chicken is no longer pink and vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes.
Stir in noodles, corn and butter. Cook, uncovered, until noodles are tender, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. If desired, top with celery leaves and pepper.

Creamed corn and butter make my chicken corn soup homey and rich. This recipe makes a big batch, but the soup freezes well for future meals—one reason why soups are my favorite thing to make. —Beverly Hoffman, Sandy Lake, Pennsylvania
