If you are keen to get the sniffles (like I do) as winter closes in, then no amount of pills and potions can come near a comforting bowl of Chicken, Vegetable and Noodle Soup. Don’t you think?
Now, doesn’t that just sound like heaven in a bowl?
This recipe is loaded with nourishing vegetables, poached chicken and delicate angel hair pasta – all submerged in a warm and flavorsome chicken broth, powered up with ginger, turmeric, garlic and chili for good measure…
You can easily use homemade stock for this recipe if you want, but if you want to use store bought chicken stock, be sure to purchase a low sodium version. Better still, try and source free range bone broth for extra nutrition!
I still can’t fathom why some people don’t like soup (pointing to my husband.) The versatility of this age old dish is unimaginable and I am constantly thinking of ingredients to use in a hearty bowl. I might be obsessing about it too much lately…
I can assure you that this recipe will be a regular around here, especially since it is so comforting and absolutely delicious. To prove how taken up I am by soups this season, check out my Soup Recipe Roundup I did a while back, the perfect organized soup companion… Have good week!
