When the weather dips below 75 in Texas everyone starts to break out the crock-pots and the insta-pots and all their soup and chili recipes- Now don’t get me wrong I do too but honestly sometimes what you need is just a simple and I mean simple chicken noodle soup that warms your belly and your soul all at the same time.
Growing up in the 90’s I assume was quite similar to growing up in the 80’s as households had both parents working, we lived off of quick fix meals and hot pockets, if it could be zapped in the microwave we more than likely had it. So the closest I ever got to a homemade chicken noodle soup as a kid was when Campbell’s came out with their Chunky line of soups.
This is just a basic recipe that anyone can follow that I’ve added a few extra tweaks and a pinch of this here and there, it’s easy to double for large groups (or to freeze half for later) and easy to pare down and make smaller.
