Chicken Noodle Vegetable Soup

Classic, comforting and a cure for all! Nothing beats the winter blues like a steaming bowl of hearty soup. This is a go-to dish for us when someone in the house is under the weather, or you just want to feel warm and cozy on a cold winter’s day. Packed with hearty vegetables and delicious chunks of tender chicken, this soup is perfect to warm hearts and bellies. Chicken soup is also a fantastic meal prep option during the chilly seasons for both lunch and dinner! We love to serve this soup with slices of fresh baguette for soaking up every last drop of goodness.
