This cozy chicken noodle soup is brought to you by today’s Sacramento chilly weather. My mom’s always made this recipe just a little different. She used spaghetti noodles instead of egg noodles. But this recipes reminds me of her cooking, she’s always been big on soups.
Soup Time
I like to slice my carrots and celery and dice my onions. I’ve seen some grocers that carry a mix of these veggies already prepped, those prepped veggies are great if you’re crunched for time!
I recommend chicken bone broth or stock for the most flavorful taste but feel free to use regular broth, if that is what you have on hand. I love and will keep raving about the Pacific Foods brand.
For the chicken. I’ve always used chicken breast. It cooks relatively quickly and it’s easy to shred. Chicken thighs are another great option to cook with for a tender kind of meat.
I use Italian seasoning to flavor this soup along with chicken stock. If you don’t have Italian seasoning on hand, use a pinch of each of these dried herbs: oregano, thyme, basil, rosemary, and parsley. Last, garnish with fresh parsley!
Stay safe, my friends! Quarantine will be over in no time! Until then, happy eating.
