(Almost) Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup [Recipe]

Along with all the holiday fun and activities comes something that’s not so fun. Cold and flu season.

I was reminded about this when my husband got struck with the flu over the weekend.  But instead of panicking about what he should eat, I knew exactly what to make for him.

Chicken Noodle Soup.

There’s actually some research behind chicken noodle soup’s infection-fighting abilities.  In 2000, researchers from the University of Nebraska found that the components of chicken noodle soup had an anti-inflammatory effect.   And besides that, it really is the perfect food for sensitive stomachs.

Last year I found this recipe from All Recipes that is beyond easy, especially when you use store-bought rotisserie chicken.  I rushed to the store, bought the ingredients, and had it on the table in 45 minutes.

If you don’t already have a recipe for homemade chicken noodle soup, you’ve got to try it!

    I highly recommend using the Reame’s frozen noodles instead of dried egg noodles. The Reame’s aren’t available everywhere in the US, and they are sometimes hard to find in the store, but totally worth it.

    Funny this is posted today as I made Chicken Noodle soup with left over rotisserie chicken this morning. Mine is similar, however I add a bay leaf and peppercorns instead of basil and oregano.

    Mmmm. Now if I can just get the kids to eat it.

    Loved it!!! I did it exactly as the recipe instructed and it turned out delicious. My mom said it tasted like Progresso soup. I took it as a compliment. Lentil soup is next.
