Chicken Soup with Hanukkah Noodles - meat

Boil 1/2 pkg. lasagna noodles until they are al dente. Press out dreidel, menorah, etc. shapes with Chanukah cookie cutters (or if you're skilled and have a lot of free time, cut them out with a sharp knife). Lay out festive shapes on wax paper.

Combine two pieces of chicken with fresh carrots, onion, soup greens, basil, turnip, leek, parsnip etc. in a large pot of boiling water and simmer for at least two hours.

A good cheat that really increases flavor is to add a bouillon cube and tablespoon of sugar.

Right at serving, float the noodles in each individual bowl of soup. Voila` -Chanukah soup.
