This comforting family favorite recipe for Easy Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup can be on the table in around 30 minutes...
Okay, you all. I am sharing a recipe with you guys today that will just crush that canned stuff you have been heating up over the years. It takes just a little more effort than cranking that can open and dumping the contents into a pan, but not so much more that you can't make this Easy Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup happen on a weekday evening. This delicious homemade soup can be on your dinner table in around 30 minutes, folks!
I have been making this recipe for my family for years now, and it is definitely a monthly meal plan favorite. In fact, it just may be my daughter's most favorite dinner at the moment. Not a week goes by that she doesn't ask me at least twice if we are having "Cock-a-doodle" soup for dinner. I had thought about actually titling my recipe by this adorable name my three year old has given it, but I didn't want to you all to think that any roosters had been harmed in the making of this soup. ;)
There is nothing fancy in this recipe- chicken broth, carrots, celery, chicken- but it is definitely the simplicity of it that just speaks of wholesomeness, comfort, and family dinners around the table...
