Who does not love chicken noodle soup?!
It is one of my favorite soups, and one of the best comfort foods out there. It is actually easy to make if you take some short cuts and use purchased or prepared chicken broth and prep your vegetables by chopping in advance. You can use skinless chicken thighs or tenders since both cook quickly and shred easily.
The key to this recipe is to taste and season. I estimated some of the amounts since the original recipe included a ‘pinch’ of this and that. Scratch cooking, requires tasting and correcting based upon your own palette.
