We were snowed in on Friday, schools were closed and roads were difficult to maneuver. Our sweet Izzy struggled to find a place to do his business in the back yard. I dug paths with the snow shovel some of you may have alreay seen this photo on facebook.
Cold winter days mean its time to warm up bellies. The perfect way is to make some soup, lots of soup… I realize some of you don’t live in an area with temps like ours.But I hope you will enjoy the soups I share for lunch, dinner, or on your rainy days.
What You Need
1 Lb. chicken (cooked and cut into bite sized pieces)
1 Lb. noodles (fresh, frozen or dry)
4 Cups chicken broth
1 1/4 Cup milk (optional)
1/4 Cup flour
1 Cup onions (chopped)
1 Cup carrots (chopped)
1 Cup celery (chopped)
3 Tbsp. parsley (chopped)
1 tsp. Dried thyme
1 tsp. Dry rosemary
Salt and pepper to taste
Large soup pot
Large saucepan
Bowl
Whisk
Before You Start: Prepare noodles according to directions
Lets Make It!
Combine broth and vegetables in soup pot and bring to a boil over medium high heat (cook for about 10 minutes or until the vegetables are tender). Reduce heat and add parsley, thyme, rosemary and chicken. Let simmer uncovered for 20 minutes. In a small bowl whisk together milk and flour then pour into soup and stir well to combine (add more milk if desired) and noodles, stir to combine and continue cooking for about 6 minutes ( until noodles are hot).
Serves 4-6

I’m a huge fan of soup, especially in the cooler weather. It’s one of the few things I fix on a regular basis. You just can’t beat it!

I wish that I could experience your winter weather for just one day, Katie. We’re in the middle of a heat wave with the temperature coming close to the record high day after day. I can picture Izzy coming back into the house with snow in his whiskers. I’m sure he loves to romp in the white stuff. You soup looks delicious and I would enjoy it year ’round. Have a fine day out your way, dear friend!

I am a big chicken fan and I love soup Katie! Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe. I could do with this today as I am battling the flu and feeling rather chilly! By the way, the snow picture is so beautiful! Thanks for sharing on Creative Monday and have yourself a great day.

I made homemade chicken soup yesterday just as insurance to keep us all healthy!! I teach in high school and kids come sick, so I need every bit of insurance possible and chicken soup so often does the trick. I had to leave out the noodles because I am on a low carb diet…but it was still excellent! I love it that we are finally having a little cold weather in Texas!

We love soup too and this sounds delicious, but we haven’t really had snow much this winter. It is raining again today for the third day in a row. That said, definitely going to have to try this. Thanks

Looks like you were in the same snow boat we were in. At least your dog went out. Ours absolutely refused till it didn’t storm any more, which was most of the day. Must have been very uncomfortable. (-:

Yummy, Katie. There’s nothing like a bowl of homemade chicken noodle soup to warm the soul on a winter’s day.

I love soup and stews in the wintertime, plus they smell so good when they are cooking!
Have a great day!

I really like the snow…when I don’t have to drive in it, haha. We haven’t had but one dusting this year in NC…sigh…I wish we would get some.
Love the chicken noodle idea…I’m trying to shake a cold; this sounds perfect.

Not much of a soup eater, but I will definitely take the snow.

Even if it’s not snowing, the cold weather makes me hungry for soup and I think chicken noodle is one of the best soups to bring you comfort on cold and snowy days.
No snow here just cold temperatures. It was 25 degrees here last night and a great night for burrowing down beneath a nice duvet. HA

My daughter has already named her future dog Izzy! Looks like a good day for soup. It’s still cold here too, although obviously there’s no snow.

It doesn’t sound hard, but it sure sounds good, and it’d be perfect today w/this cold weather back in full force.

I love soup too! I love in Canada and we have our share of cold months as well.
You recipe is similar to mine, that I use for turkey/chicken soup. I could almost live on it, lol

There is nothing like homemade chicken noodle soup. Although it does always make me want to sing, “with a soda on the side” right after it.

It’s so hot here right now it’s tough to think of sweet Izzy jumping through snowbanks to have a piddle.
I love chicken noodle soup but lately all I want is salads and cold soup. I’ll save this for when the seasons change.

We LOVE chicken noodle soup around here…especially this week with the flu making its rounds through the household. It’s been requested over and over – and my recipe is just like yours!

[...] Ah a new week ahead, so many possibilities await us all. For the past few days I have been sequestered in my art room. I have been working diligently on a big order for a hotel. They bought several of my embroidered do not disturb signs from my shop. My hubby went on an ice fishing trip this weekend, so meals were simple salads and my homemade chicken noodle soup. [...]
