Chicken Noodle Soup Heals the body and Soul! Nothing better than a cozy bowl of homemade soup! I love this recipe its loaded with flavor and you don’t need a ton of ingredients! The Key is to sear the chicken in the same pot you make the soup in. The chicken drippings add a ton of flavor. This soup freezes wonderfully too just allow it to cool completely before freezing in glass containers.
