Comfortable Chicken Noodle Soup

3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 1/2 cups frozen peas & carrots
1 pkg Lipton Noodle Soup mix
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 small onion, diced
1 cup milk
salt & pepper to taste

Boil chicken breasts in about 3 cups of water ... just enough to cover the chicken breasts, using a good size pot. Chicken should boil for about 8 minutes. Remove chicken from water and place on a cutting board to cool. To the remaining water (chicken broth), add onion, peas & carrots, milk, cream of chicken soup, and Lipton soup mix. Whisk everything together until smooth and uniform. Bring to a boil. Allow the soup to boil for about 5-10 minutes. In the meantime, dice up the chicken and return it to the soup. Salt & pepper to taste. Pepper is essential. Easy breezy.

* The noodles in the Lipton soup mix hold up better than any other noodle I've tried. They keep for several days in the fridge without getting soggy.
