As a busy mom juggling business, kids, and household duties, making an easy dinner is always on my mind. Especially with the cold season in full swing and my little one being sick, chicken noodle soup totally saved me from having to cook few meals, including the dinner and the lunch the following day. All while helping with the cold symptoms and making the belly hot with warm soup.
Here's a super easy chicken noodle soup recipe that I love.
Easy Dinner Recipe - Chicken Noodle Soup On A Cold Night
Easy to make, delicious, and packed with nutrients, and my kid loves it! I can guarantee that you will feel warm after having this soup! It takes only about 40 minutes to make - it sounds like a long time, but all you really need is the time to chop the ingredients and the time to sautee the vegetables initially for about 15 minutes. Rest happens in the pot as it boils.
Hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do!
