Chicken Noodle aka Someone is Getting Sick Soup

In a large soup pot, pre-cook the chopped onion with a little drizzle of olive oil for about 3-5 minutes, to soften. Add garlic and cook another minute. Add chicken and season with salt and pepper. Add stock, carrots, ginger, herbs and bring to a simmer. Cook until chicken is cooked and carrots are soft, about 15 minutes. Add lemon juice, kale, frozen vegetables and return to a simmer. Add noodles and cook until soft, stirring occasionally.

Gluten free option: add 1/2 to 1/3 cup rice instead of noodles.

If a thicker soup is desired, mix about a 1/4 cup of flour with about a half cup of warm soup liquid, stirring out all the lumps. Pour into the soup pot after the noodles are cooked, add a drizzle of cream or half and half (avoid dairy if you have a cough). Stir and allow the soup to thicken.
