Instructions

Season the chicken with salt (only use a pinch), black pepper, onion powder, and marinate in a small mixing bowl with lime juice. Allow it to sit for about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large pot, bring the water to a simmer over medium-high heat.
Once the water is simmering, add the marinated chicken breasts (with all juice), minced garlic, and chicken base powder. Cover the pot and allow to simmer for 30 minutes.
After simmering for 30 minutes, add carrots and celery and simmer covered for an additional 15 minutes.
Next, add potatoes, noodles, and cilantro and simmer covered for an additional 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, check the noodles for doneness.
Check seasoning and add salt and/or pepper, to taste.
Garnish with some more fresh cilantro.
Serve and enjoy!
