It's winter, and one of my favorite soups is the traditional chicken noodle soup! Perfect comfort food for winter! Serve your soup with warm Italian bread or yeast rolls. If you make too much, you can freeze and save the leftovers for another day!
Now, on to the recipe. I hate having to scroll through a life story to get it, and I'm sure you do, too!
Traditional Chicken Noodle Soup
Ingredients:
- 3 pounds of boneless chicken
- 8-12 cups chicken stock
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 4-5 whole carrots, peeled and sliced
- 2-3 celery stalks, chopped

Optional: Use your favorite frozen or canned vegetables if you're short on time.
No noodles? No problem, substitute with rice, potatoes, quinoa, etc.
Instructions:
- In a large pot, combine the boneless chicken and chicken stock. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to simmer. Cook until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
