{Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup}


 Blustery days filled with twirling snow calls for soup, and not just any soup… my favorite soup!   For as long as I can remember Chicken noodle soup has been my absolute favorite. 


Simple yes, but a warm bowl of homemade chicken noodle soup is anything but boring.  Chicken noodle soup is one of those classic soups that I never get sick of, and is one of those foods that is comforting to me, brings back memories of my childhood.  I remember growing up I had (probably still have) a white bowl that had tiny yellow ducks painted on the rim, it was the bowl I always had to use when eating chicken noodle soup.   I thought of this bowl last night as I sat enjoying my homemade chicken noodle soup out of what I call my grown up duck bowl (the one in the picture).   Like I said, chicken noodle soup just reminds me of being a kid, and is still to this day one of my favorites!
