Fit Mama's Chicken Noodle
It's fairly quick, it's easy and people like it. Even my 13 year old nephew seemed to enjoy the basic and healthy ingredients. The chicken I use is extra chicken from a previous meal. The chicken I use sometimes has spices on it already such as garlic, oregano, rosemary, etc. It just adds to the flavor.

1/2 Purple Onion
7 or 8 garlic cloves or 2 Tbls minced garlic
28 oz can diced tomatoes
2/3 cup tiny pasta for soup, such as stars, acini di pepe, orzo
