Grilled Cheese & Chicken Noodle Soup

52 g of protein and 8 g of fiber. The meal I make when I'm sick to keep me on track with my protein and fiber goals.

This is a full comfort meal that comes together in less than 20 minutes. It’s my go-to on sick days, and one of my daughter’s favorite every days.

The soup freezes well, so it’s great for meal prep. If you find the noodles used up to much bone broth when using from the freezer, just add more bone broth. Grilled cheese needs to be made in real time.

The key to recipes like this is substituting and selecting ingredients that allow you to still enjoy the foods you love, while hitting your goals, so you have the body you want. Today and in the future.

Soup Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon olive oil

• 2 cups (255 g) mirepoix, fresh or frozen

• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

• ¼ teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed between your fingers

• 1 to 2 tablespoons dried parsley

• 1 bay leaf

• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

• 4 cups Kettle & Fire Chicken Bone Broth

• 2 tablespoons Better Than Bouillon Roasted Chicken Base (adjust to taste)

• 4 oz Manischewitz Thin Egg Noodles

• 8 oz cooked shredded chicken

Note: If you have poultry seasoning on hand, you can substitute 1½ teaspoons poultry seasoning for the Italian seasoning and rosemary.

Instructions

1. Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat.

2. Add the mirepoix and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften and the onions are translucent.

3. Stir in the Italian seasoning and crushed rosemary and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant.

4. Add the bone broth, Better Than Bouillon, bay leaf, parsley, and black pepper. Bring to a gentle boil.

5. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.

6. Stir in the egg noodles and cook according to the package directions.

7. Add the shredded chicken during the last 2 to 3 minutes, just long enough to heat through.

8. Remove the bay leaf before serving.

Grilled Cheese Ingredients

• 2 slices Silver Hills Little Big Bread (it’s high fiber, but not TOO high fiber. 2 slices is 100 calories)

• 40 g Cabot Lite 50 Cheddar

• 1 teaspoon butter

Instructions

1. Use 1/2 the butter on each slice. This will work out much better if you are using frozen bread.

2. Place your cheese in between both slices.

3. On low, grill your sandwich.
