Homemade Chicken & Stars Soup

There's nothing like homemade chicken soup. True comfort food...and so much healthier for you with a lot less sodium if you make it from scratch. My version is very healthy, low in WW points, and so delicious. This recipe makes like 6 servings.

Ingredients:

8 cups fat-free, low sodium chicken broth
all the white meat off a rotiseree chicken, broken up into small pieces
2 bay leaves
2 large carrots, thin-sliced & chopped fine
2 large stalk celery, from the heart, chopped fine
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 cup Stars Pasta
1 tsp. of My House Seasoning (see my blog for this recipe)
extra S&P, if needed
Handful fresh chopped parsley

Instructions:

Heat broth & bay leaves to boiling. Add vegetables & seasonings & simmer 5 minutes, covered. Add pasta & cook 6 min. Add chicken & parsley. If soup is too thick at this point, add about 2 cups of water to achieve desired consistency. Remove bay leaves & serve.
