How is your day going? Quick, I hope. I have a quick recipe for Chicken Noodle Soup today that hopefully makes your decision for dinner easier. I don’t know anyone that doesn’t appreciate a homemade Chicken Noodle Soup.
Chicken Noodle Soup
This is an easy recipe to make because it uses a rotisserie chicken, so the Chicken Noodle Soup comes together very quickly. The onions, carrots and celery is sautéed with thyme and a bay leaf to give an aromatic aroma that fills the kitchen. Add in the noodles and chicken and the smell gets even better, I promise you. Serve this with some french bread or oyster crackers to complete this quick meal.

You can easily double this recipe for Chicken Noodle Soup so you have enough for lunch or dinner the next day or to send home with your kids. My daughters love it when I have left overs to send home with them. I want them to have home cooked food to eat, instead of eating out or throwing a pre-made dinner in the oven or microwave. Remember, fresh is best! Enjoy!

There is literally nothing better than chicken noodle soup that’s homemade. Your rotisserie chicken makes for a good short cut too!! I tend to use my own and roast the vegetables before I make the actual soup – yours is much quicker! Keepin’ it simple 🙂 love it!

I just made some chicken noodle soup last week and my husband, who had a cold, left me a note thanking me for making it. He’s never done that before, LOL. I love how easy it is, but so delicious. Thanks for sharing at Simple Supper Tuesday.
