Chicken & Noodle Soup

Kids always love this chicken & noodle soup recipe – it’s not heavy on spices and seasonings. The noodles are hearty enough to fill both children and adults and the broth is warm and comforting.

Mom made her noodles from scratch. I’m lazy when it comes to physical labor so that doesn’t work out for me very well at all.

I like to use a package of chicken thighs with a whole fryer when stewing a chicken because the thighs have more fat and therefore more flavor.

Adding just 4 thighs to the pot will render a richer, bolder stock. 

I’m using a pressure cooker to stew chicken these days but the recipe calls for a dutch oven or heavy stock pot.
