How to make a semi-quick and hearty chicken stew/ soup

Add two tablespoons better than bouillon to a large sauce pan or Dutch oven

Add four cups water to sauce pan

Stir mixture over medium heat

Add an entire precooked chicken to the bouillon mixture

Cover for 15 minutes

While chicken is getting happy in the sauce pan, rinse and chop 4 celery stalks

Rinse, peel and chop two carrots

Add carrots and celery to the pan

Flip chicken over replace lid.

These are pre minced garlic cubes. I use 3-4 which is equivalent to 3-4 cloves

Remove chicken from pot and peel away skin and begin to shred all meat white and dark off bone.

Discard all bones and fat.

Shred and chop up all meat

Add chicken to broth and veggies

Add dash of salt to taste

Add 1 tsp oregano

Add one tsp black pepper

Let simmer and bring to a low boil.

Then add your favorite pasta

Cook until pasta is tender and not mushy. Then removed from heat

Serve and enjoy :)
