Classic Chicken Noodle Soup

This classic soup is on regular rotation at our house, especially during the fall and winter months here in Chicago. It is easy to make, with simple inexpensive ingredients. It warms our souls and leaves us feeling so satisfied and good. Itis made with flavorful broth, fresh herbs, tender noodles, juicy chicken and vibrant vegetables. I can guarantee that once you make this you won’t resort to the canned soups anymore.

One thing that makes this recipe so easy and helps eliminate the prep and cooking time is resorting to utilizing a rotisserie chicken as opposed to cooking a chicken breast and shredding. You can absolutely do either option, however if you want to simplify things purchase an already cooked rotisserie chicken,shred it, measure it out and you will be well on your way to making to making all of your cozy lunch or dinner dreams come true.

This soup somehow makes everything better no matter what mood you are in. This is an old fashioned recipe that will never go out of style. It will definitely hit the spot and you can serve this with my 3 ingredient homemade garlic bread, butter and crackers, aside salad or it is truly amazing on its own in a large mug while you are curled up on the couch with your favorite blanket.

Can I do this in a slow cooker instead of the oven?
