My dad is the bomb!

I have learned a lot from my parents.  I giggle now, I call and my Dad has caller ID on his TV, so he always says, Hello Anne Marie! I just love that!  My dad loves to cook, and always has different twist to recipes, and I try and get those fun things from him!  He told me to put lasagna noodles cruched up in my turkey soup. I did it after Thanksgiving and it was heavenly.  The thing is we don't like turkey except for Turkey Soup!
Yesterday, my precious Anna had this horrible scratchy throat and cough.  I said what she needed was Chicken Noodle soup! Her little eyes got all happy.  So I roasted a few chicken breast last night after dinner, and saved the water from boiled new pots and steamed carrots and used that as stock with chicken boulion, and filled up my stock pot!
I put a frozen bag of mixed vegis and the carrots from last night into the pot.  The chicken I shread, cause I love it all textured, some like to cube.  I then add the lasagna noodles!  Crunch them up!
It is kinda fun, half the time the noodles are all messed up and broken, so it felt like getting back for all those times the noodles were broke in the past! I put it on to boil then simmered for a few hours! 
That is one big pot of soup!  I turned it off, and the noodles soaked up so much moisture, I had to put 6 more  cups of water and 3 bouillons!
YUMMY!
