Chicken Noodle Soup
Whether you’re coming down with a cold or simply craving a comforting bowl of soup to warm you in winter, you can count on good old chicken noodle soup to hit the spot. And it’s easier to make than you might think.
To make cooking this soup even easier, buy a rotisserie chicken or use leftover chicken breast from the night before. That way, all that’s needed to complete the soup is to chop the veggies and boil the noodles. Make sure you pick a good quality chicken broth or use homemade– it really makes a difference in flavor! If you aren’t going to serve all of the soup immediately, store the soup and pasta separately or the pasta will swell and absorb the liquid from the soup.
