Mama's Healing Chicken Noodle Soup

This is the best chicken noodle soup I've ever put in my mouth. It's my mom's "made up" recipe. Thanks Mama!! The reason I call this "healing" is because I made it for Aubrey when he was sick last year, and he swore it made him better. Although I'm not a "dumper" when it comes to making food (I have to have exact amounts), I have to admit that this is one of those that I just have to "dump." Aubrey is really good about tasting it to determine what it needs.

Ingredients:
3 cups boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Enough water to fill up half your stock pot

2 bay leaves
1 cup carrots, chopped
1 cup celery, chopped
3-4 chicken bullion cubes

1/4 cup green onions, chopped

salt and pepper to taste
2 tsp garlic powder
1 package egg noodles

Directions:
Fill half the stock pot with water. Trim all visible fat from chicken and place in water. Place bay leaves, carrots, celery, bullion, onions, salt and pepper in water also. Bring to a boil and cook until chicken is cooked throughout. Take chicken out and shred or cube. While chicken is out of the pot, place the noodles in and cook according to the back of the packaage. While the noodles are cooking, taste the broth and season accordingly (if needed). Shred or chop chicken. Once the noodles are cooked, place the chicken back in the stock pot.
