This classic comfort food always hits the spot when the weather starts to get cold. I sometimes use 3-4 whole carrots, sliced, and 2 cups frozen peas. Whatever you have on hand will work.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

For such a simple soup, this chicken noodle soup is unexpectedly flavorful. It has a nice, rich, and savory broth with plenty of chunks of chicken breast. Peas and carrots are almost sweet compared to the salty soup. Hearty and comforting soup at its best. One great thing about this recipe's simplicity is that it lends itself to adaptation. Try adding your favorite veggies or seasonings, then sit back, relax, and enjoy.
