EOM Hearty Italian chicken noodle soup

made WITHOUT a recipe from cleaning out the freezer and the pantry....and it turned out pretty good!

INGREDIENTS:
6 cups chicken broth
2 cups water
1 pound ground chicken
2 cups seasoned pureed veggies (leftover from making the chicken broth)
generous dashes of seasoned salt or Jane's Crazy Salt
1 bay leaf
1-2 frozen cubes homemade pesto (probably about 2 or 3 tbsp each)
fresh grated parmesan cheese
1 box of pasta (I used 1/2 radiatore and 1/2 garden rotini)

1)start defrosting the frozen veggies and chicken broth by placing the bags in a big bowl of hot water.
2)drizzle a few tbsp of evoo in a large pot and cook the ground chicken, season with a few shakes of seasoning.
3)add broth, water, pesto, bay leaf, and veggie puree...it's ok if its not completely thawed...it will be soon! Bring to a boil
4)add pasta and boil according to directions
5)once pasta has reached desired tenderness serve immediately garnished with parmesan cheese.
(this would also be pretty good with whole frozen veggies added with the pasta)

serve to a toddler with most of broth drained away and lots of cheese on top!
