Chicken Noodle Soup

Chicken Noodle Soup

This is a wonderful, feel good soup which is extremely healthy and nourishing.  It has been described to me ‘like a hug in a bowl’ – perfect for any day but especially when feeling under the weather.

It’s very simple so I hope you give it a try and I’d love to hear about it in the comments.

 

Sometimes I make this after cooking a whole chicken. I will poach the carcase with the poaching ingredients and add in cooked roasted chicken in step 4. I reduce the amount of stock cubes used too.
