What is more comforting than chicken noodle soup?
I came down with COVID for the first time last Friday. One day our daughter-in-law texted and asked what kind of soup that we liked. For me it was a no brainer, ‘hearty chicken noodle soup’.
Time went on and we thought nothing of it, but we got a knock at the door and a driver left a package for us. It was a package of rolls and two bowls of chicken noodle soup from Kneaders.
So delicious with homemade noodles. So very comforting.
I love to make chicken noodle soup for my family. It is a classic full of carrots, celery, chunks of chicken and noodles in a delightful chicken broth. Crush up some saltine crackers in it and chow down. Savor each bite.
I have made homemade egg noodles before, but I mostly us packaged egg noodles. Here is the most yummy recipe. Give it a try.
