Nourishing Chicken Noodle Soup

Nourishing Chicken Noodle Soup is a favorite in our house. There’s something so cozy about the smell of a hot pot of soup overtaking the house on a cool day. The smell of celery, onions, fresh herbs, and garlic sautéing is so appetizing!  I’ll admit if we get a grey sky in the summer I run for my soup pot. I may get some weird looks from the family, but that’s ok. I know they will enjoy eating the end result.
Making chicken noodle soup
Back in the day, I wouldn’t have thought twice about grabbing a can of soup from the grocery store, and if they were on sale I would stock up. When  I started making my own it couldn’t compare to anything out of a can, and I couldn’t go back.
I love being in control of the ingredients I’m putting in. Most likely if you have a can of soup in your cabinet it’s full of GMO’s and msg hidden in names like “natural flavors,” “modified food starch,” or “soy protein isolate”! These ingredients come with a long list of side effects, and makes it worth your time to make homemade!

Nourishing chicken noodle soup
I truly believe chicken noodle soup is medicinal.  It’s packed with veggies, fresh garlic, herbs, organic broth, and good-quality chicken. I even add in some bone broth if I have it on hand! When I’m really loving my time in the kitchen, I make fresh homemade noodles.  I’m still working on perfecting them, but I think they are pretty darn good!

This soup is full of flavor, and by sautéing the veggies first, you will get a depth of flavor that usually takes hours to accomplish in about 45 minutes! I like it quick, don’t you? To make this dinner over the top, serve this soup with Buttermilk Biscuits, or crusty artisan bread.
