homemade easy chicken noodle soup

1 woke up in the middle of the night with a topsey turvey tum tum so i decided to make a pot of chicken noodle soup its better for you than canned  and this is an easy recipe ready in less than an hour  its my go to when im feeling under the weather

2 boneless chicken breasts cut into one inch cubes
4 carrots peeled and diced
4 stalks celery diced
1 onion diced
1 cup frozen peas
salt and pepper to taste
1 box low sodium chicken broth
2 cups water
2 teaspoons fresh thyme
2 tablespoons fresh parsley
noodles rice orzo or rice cooked according to package directions  cook separably

in a large stockpot or dutch over add the chicken the broth and water bring to a boil  add the vegetables salt and pepper and thyme and bring to second boil  then down to a simmer for about 20 25 minutes till veggies are tender remove from heat add the parsley

in a soup bowl  add the drained noodles or pasta or rice  and ladle the soup over it  i don't add mine to the soup because it soaks up all the broth  and i find it better to freeze some  for another time without the pasta   enjoy hope everyone has a really nice day
