Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup

 

Is it cold enough for you lately?   Have you received some snow by now?  Are you bundling up in front of a warm and cozy fire just like we are in our neck of the woods?

If so, then you’re needing some rib-sticking comfort food.  And nothing can satisfy the soul during these chilly wintery days than good old-fashioned chicken soup!  

So here’s a super easy Homemade Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup that will have you eating it straight out of the pot!  Comfort food just doesn’t get any better than this.  And if you’re not chilled to the bone like most of us are during winter, you’ll STILL love this fantastic soup!

This chunky soup is totally hearty and chock-full of chicken, vegetables, and thick egg noodles.  So good for the soul to help you feel all warm inside!

We like creamy soups just as much as broth-y soups, and this soup can be prepared with or without milk, whichever you prefer . . . both have tremendous flavor!

A few tips for making homemade chicken noodle soup even easier:

One of the tricks to making homemade soup is to make and freeze chicken broth ahead of time.  With that done, all you have to do is take the broth out of the freezer to thaw, pour it into a tall pot, add the ingredients, and cook for no more than half an hour.  Here’s the link to my recipe for chicken broth –>  Homemade Chicken Broth.

A second tip:  when you make your own chicken broth, chop up the chicken that you used to make the broth and freeze it as well!  Thaw it out while you’re thawing out the broth or just throw it in the pot and it will thaw out in the hot soup.  You’re ready to go!  You can also purchase an inexpensive baked chicken in most grocery stores too.

Easy, delicious and healthy!  Minimal fat is consumed in this soup, that is unless you devour the entire pot of soup that you will be tempted to do!

I’ve also shared a few photos below of what the Carolina’s experienced after an unusual winter snowstorm.  It sure was beautiful though!

ENJOY and stay warm!
