Kid favorite.

I have to give my husband credit for this one. It's a deliciously eye pleasing kid pleaser.
Noodles in a chicken and vegetable broth with a slight citrus taste.


You can find ramen noodles at your local asian market.
Or Nissin ramen noodles from essentially any market are just as good.
For the broth:
There are two ways to go about it.
Want to be sneaky? Make a chicken broth including carrots, celery, onion and zucchini. Add garlic, salt and pepper to taste.
The key is to cut the veggies into nice big pieces so it is easier to remove them later.
When your broth is ready remove veggies and set them aside.
Bring your broth to a low boil in a small soup pot and add noodles.
Cook until your noodles reach desired tenderness.
Now, you can take a piece of each veggie and some broth, place them in a blender or food processor and blend until you have a slurry consistency. That slurry could go straight into your pot of soup or if you have an extra picky kiddo, you can use a strainer so you will not have any dreaded veggie bits in the soup.

Or... If your kiddo doesn't mind veggies, give yourself a big ol' pat on the back!!! Yes, I'm being sarcastic;p
But seriously, congrats & all that...
Where was I...You can avoid the chunky veggies, chop them up as you wish and keep them in the soup. I add the veggies for taste, but sometimes I keep the veggies in for a more traditional chicken soup taste. I also shred the chicken from the broth and add that to the noodles, we all enjoy that.

Any way you have your soup enjoy it. Make a sandwich & split it. Add a little lime if you'd like.
