This looks like it is going to be “Chicken Noodle Soup” kind of day! This is one of my favorite soups – but really is there anything better on a cold wintery day than a thick and hearty bowl of chicken and noodle soup? There are two recipes below, one will feed about 20-25 people, so it makes enough for a crowd. The other recipe serves about 8 people. Make enough to share with friends and family! Or you can freeze some for another winter weekend.
When I make chicken noodle soup, I like to add lots of carrots, celery and onions and I use rotisserie chicken to make it quick and easy.
Chop or slice all the vegetables and the chicken into bite sized pieces.
The vegetables add such a beautiful color and so many nutrients!
Saute the vegetables, stir in soup and seasonings.
Add chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add noodles and cook according to package directions. Add chicken, bring to a simmer. Taste and extra seasonings, as desired. Take off heat and let set for about 10 minutes.
The following recipe serves 8 – just right for a family dinner!
