Heartiest Chicken Soup

I've never been a big fan of soup as a meal, I don't get very full off of liquid ;) But this soup is perfect for a meal because it is so filling and very healthy, and it tastes amazing!

You Need:

• 6 cuts of chicken
• Chicken Broth
• 1/2 can of pumpkin
• 4-6 medium sized potatoes, cut into cubes, skin on
  
• 1 can of sliced carrots
• 1 can of peas
  
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 head of garlic, chopped
  
• Spices to taste

Directions:

• Boil chicken in a large pot until cooked
• Take chicken off bones in large pieces and put it back into the pot
• Turn temperature down to simmer and throw in the potatoes, carrots, peas, onions, and garlic
• Add broth as necessary
  
• Continue to simmer until everything is cooked
• Add the canned pumpkin and more broth if necessary and stir well
• Add spices and continue to simmer on low for a half hour to an hour
• Serve soup and refrigerate or freeze leftover portions
  

(noodles can be substituted for potatoes)
