Chicken Noodle Soup

The flu has hit really hard this season and unfortunately my husband came down with it this past week. In our household Chicken Noodle Soup (along with some saltine crackers and lemon-lime gatorade) is a must-have for recovery.

This is a quick, but delicious version of Chicken Noodle Soup. The longer you allow the soup to simmer and cook the better, but this can be ready in an hour if need be.

A few tips:

• If you need even more of a time saver you can skip the step of poaching the chicken and just chop a rotisserie chicken instead.
• Fines Herbs is a mixed blend of chervil, chives, parsley and tarragon that can be found in the spice section of the grocery store.
• To speed up the chopping time I use this vegetable chopper. It saves so much time and all of your veggies are consistent in size.
• My favorite brand of egg noodles is Essenhaus – available at most grocery stores.

Enjoy!
