Chicken Noodle Soup
A perfect dish to make for someone feeling sick or just sick of the cold. There are a lot of ways to make it, but I think this is one of the simplest recipes to follow. I suggest making a lot at one time so you can store some in the freezer, ready to use when you need a quick and comforting bite. Use this recipe as a guideline, it’s totally fine to switch up the amounts of each ingredient if you want to.
