Creamy Chicken and Garden Soup

• 1/2 package frozen vegetable mix

• 1 c. corn
• 1 med. zucchini
• chicken (it says 2 thighs, but really whatever you want)
• 14 oz. chicken broth
• 1/2 tsp. dried thyme
• 2 oz. uncooked egg noodles
• 1 c. half and half
• 1/2 c. thawed peas
• 2 tbs. parsley
• 2 tbs. butter
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper

1. Coat crock pot with nonstick spray.  Place stir fry vegetables, corn, zucchini in the bottom.  Add chicken, garlic, broth, and thyme.  Cook on high 3 to 4 hours.  Remove chicken and cool slightly.
2. Add noodles to crock pot.  Cook 20 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, de-bone (if you need), and chop chicken.  Return to crock pot.  Stir in remaining ingredients.  Let stand 5 minutes before serving.  

This picture doesn't really do the soup justice....it actually tastes really good.
