This cold weather scene is just begging me to make some good old fashioned Chicken Soup for the soul. In fact, bring on all the soups, baking and cooking shows! This easy chicken noodle soup is a great big batch meal and took no time at all. I even made so much that I fed half of my neighbors. It also has about 6 cups of veggies and is easy to adjust to most dietary needs. I have talked about adopting the Danish life practice of Hygge. And this fits in perfectly with it being a comforting, easy and warm meal.
To make it Gluten Free, use Gluten free egg noodles.
To make it vegetarian, use vegetable stock or broth and omit the chicken.
To make it high protein, add more chicken.
