Chicken Noodle Soup

I have been in the mood for chicken noodle soup for awhile.  I have a cold and what a better time to make this!!  It turned out great!!

Chicken Noodle Soup
(adapted from allrecipes.com)
4 cups cooked chicken breasts
1 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup butter (I used I Can't Believe It's Not Butter)
1/2 cup chopped carrots
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon minced garlic
4 cups chicken stock
7 cups Swanson's Low Sodium Chicken Broth
4 cups water
2 bags of Reames Yolk-Free Frozen Noodles

1.  In a large stock pot, saute celery and onion in butter.
2.  Add in chicken, carrots, pepper, bay leaves, garlic, chicken stock, chicken broth and water.  Simmer for about 30-45 minutes.
3.  Add in the frozen noodles and then simmer for 20-30 more minutes or until noodles are cooked.

Weight Watchers Points Plus:
The entire recipe was a total of 84 Points Plus.  I made around 20 servings which was about a 1/4 cup.  That made each serving 4 Points Plus.

Notes for making next time:
Really good but too much noodles.  Only add one bag of the noodles.  When I went to put it in the fridge, the noodles sucked up most of the liquid!  Also, don't use butter but spray oil to save some Points Plus.
