To prepare a too simple cream of chicken noodle soup beans and grains recipe, add the following ingredients to the pot: 1 pound diced chicken breasts, 1 cup chopped onion, 2 tablespoons chopped celery, 1/2 teaspoon each thyme and kosher salt, and 1 tablespoon dried or fresh oregano. Bring to boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 1 hour. Remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes.
