CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP

Here's our quick-and-easy version of a time-honored healing brew.

1 tablespoon butter or stick margarine
1 cup chopped carrots
1 cup chopped parsnip
1/2 cup thinly sliced celery
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
3 1/2 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
1 cup water
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups uncooked wide egg noodles
1 1/2 cups (1-inch) cubed roasted skinned, boned chicken breast halves (about 3/4 pound)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Melt butter in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add carrot, parsnip, and celery; sauté 3 minutes. Stir in flour. Gradually add broth, water, salt, and pepper, stirring with a whisk; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes. Add noodles and chicken, and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes. Stir in parsley.
