Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup

This is hands down, a fall and winter comfort food! I love making my own chicken stock for this soup. I start with roasting the fryer chicken, shredding all the meat, and then making the stock with the bones. It’s a full day of filling the home full of delicious aromas with a promise of a good meal to look forward to.

Whether you create your own stock or make it simple by using some chicken broth you have on hand, this soup is sure to please!
