Not only is it finally soup season here in Chicago, it’s also cold and flu season. This past week we both had terrible colds and we spent a lot of the weekend indoors, trying our best to feel better. Whenever I was younger, my mom would always make me a big pot of chicken noodle when I was feeling under the weather. I decided to break out the soup pot and give mom’s old recipe a try.
This soup has a few steps, but they’re pretty straight forward and easy to follow. Within 45 minutes, you’ll have yourself a delicious pot of chicken noodle soup that will help cure any sickness! Let’s get started.
