Comforting Chicken Noodle Soup

Chicken Noodle Soup

Here we are in the dead of a Midwest winter.  Snow covered lawns, ice covered sidewalks, short days and a lack of sun calls for bringing on the Big Guns.. Chicken Noodle Soup to the rescue.  This is one of my all time favorite comfort foods.  It is easy and quick to make especially if you use Rotisserie Chicken from the Grocery Store and Frozen Liquid Gold.  I made extra so that I can freeze a couple quarts for a quick meal.  Erick says this beats Progresso Chicken Noodle, hands down.
