Lindsay's Lipsmackin' Soup

Hey y'all!! I've been asked for this recipe SO many times... At least 25... And I always say, "I'll give it to you as soon as I write it down..." Well, the long awaited moment has come!! Here is the recipe for my Soup:

Ingredients:
4 cups chopped, cooked chicken meat (Tastes best from the breast meat of a Rotisserie Chicken from Costco)
14 cups of water in a big stock pot
About a tablespoon of butter or margarine (not needed, but makes it taste scrumptious)
10 1/2 - 11 chicken bouillon cubes
1/2 tsp dried marjoram (heaping)
1/2 tsp ground black pepper (heaping)
1 Tblsp dried parsley (heaping)
Some crushed bay leaf (about an index finger print worth in your palm)
6 cups (ish) dried egg noodles (more or less, depending on how much broth you like in your soup)
2 cups (ish) frozen mixed vegetables

In large stock pot, add water and bouillon cubes (and butter if you wish). Simmer over med-high heat while tearing apart the chicken meat into bite sized pieces (best done by tearing it). Add chicken, spices, and
frozen vegetables to stock pot and simmer over medium heat for about 30 minutes.

Add egg noodles to stock pot and simmer for another 10 minutes.

***Do not add egg noodles until 10 minutes before you serve the soup otherwise the noodles will cook too long and get mushy. If you decide to freeze it, freeze without the noodles.

Serve and enjoy!! Makes about 8-10 servings that go great with biscuits :-)
