Whenever I hear a person say, ‘Chicken Noodle Soup’ it always reminds me of the TV series Friends. You know the one where Rachel asks Joey to make Chicken Noodle Soup sound sexy and he does! So when I decided to make this dish for my little family all I kept thinking during the cooking process was ‘Chicken Noodle Soup’.
Before I started making this meal I thought about how to make a soup with the leftover chicken we had in the freezer. I always buy a large chicken from our local butcher and freeze any leftovers. That’s when Chicken Noodle Soup came to my mind. It was then I knew I had to make this dish. My family and I really enjoyed this soup and it’s one we will be having again. Below is the video on how to make this dish and also the recipe too.

Chicken Noodle Soup was a quick and easy meal that my little family enjoyed eating. It was simple but so tasty. A great one for a cold winter’s night or as a weekend lunch meal. I would suggest not freezing the noodles especially if they are rice ones. The rest of this dish is freezable so it could be made in advance of a meal. Then cook the noodles before serving the dish. However you decide to eat this soup, as always, enjoy. Thank you xxx
