Chicken Noodle and Vegie Soup

Soup number two that I enjoy making...and basically made up.

You need about
About 400 grams of chicken thighs or breast (or less)
A winter soup pack of vegies from woolies or coles or the like.  They usually contain:
* one small potato
* one turnip
* one swede
* one medium brown onion
* two carrots
Dry packet of Chicken Noodle Soup
Massel Brand Vegie or Chicken Stock...one cube

In a big pot boil the chicken.

Meanwhile grate all the vegies.  Yes, grate them (very annoying part) but worth it.  You could probably chop the veggies and then blend them at the end but I have had an accident with a blender (eep).

Take the chicken out of the boiling water when cooked.  Discard the liquid.  Shred the chicken carefully using two forks (or just wait til their cool and do it safely).

Fill a big pot with a litre of water.  Add dry chicken noodle soup packet.  Add grated vegies and chicken.  Add stock/water if desired (depends on how many you are serving).

Bring to simmer.  Cook for about 15 minutes and then serve.  You can also throw in some frozen corn as well if you like.  This makes it a bit sweeter.

This serves (without extra water/stock) about four people.  And you can freeze it.
