Chunk-Free Chicken Soup

I have a great recipe for you. This makes a good snack. I made this up because I like chicken noodle soup but I don’t like the chicken pieces.

The ingredients: 1 can of (full-strength) chicken broth or vegetable broth, 1/2 can of water, 1 to 2 carrots, 1 stalk of celery, 1 handful (from a bag) of frozen corn, 1 handful (from a bag) of wide egg noodles. Put first 5 ingredients in a pot and bring to boil. Add egg noodles and cook 10 minutes.
