Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup For Comfort

Today’s recipe is a great, easy dish anytime of the year. It’s a comforting winter dish, and it’s also a great comfort for those with a cold or flu. The quality of the soup depends on the quality of the stock or broth you use making the soup. If you’ve tried my crock pot chicken stock recipe, I would use that. Otherwise, buy the best quality stock you can find. Your spices can be adjusted to individual taste.

Homemade chicken noodle soup is healthy. It’s much healthier than store-bought soups which are usually loaded with sodium, artificial flavors, MSG, and preservatives. Chicken broth or stock (especially when homemade) are loaded with vitamins and minerals, which is soothing for the body. It’s still healthier if you buy your favorite cartoon of stock. The bones from a rotisserie chicken are perfect to make stock. Add the meat from the rotisserie chicken to the broth with egg noodles. Egg noodles are the classic addition to chicken soup, but you can use any noodle you prefer.
