Simple Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe

Simple Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe Your soul is full, now feed your stomach.
Maureen C. Petrosky•

Chicken noodle soup just may be the ultimate comfort food. The smell of the mirepoix simmering in the pot can enliven a room, and the taste of the finished product makes small children and hulking he-men feel instantly better. (Unless you're a vegetarian, which is great, but why are you looking at this recipe when you should be looking at these.)

This recipe isn't for some dainty first-course soup. Serve this chicken noodle soup with a big chunk of sourdough and good butter and it's a meal in itself.
