Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup

Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup is a crowd pleaser and even the pickiest eaters cannot resist the comforting aroma and satisfying taste of a good nourishing soup. This soup has a little extra creaminess added to make it extra delicious.

I think this year could be the year. We have been waiting for it for nearly 7 years now. It’s so exciting! It opens up so many doors for us!

THIS could be the year that my kids will willingly eat soup.

I know that it is probably abnormal for children to not like soup, but mine just haven’t. We could get away with potato soup and that was about it. All other soups had too many things touching. Other creamy soups were not their favorite color (but mom, I don’t like pumpkin soup. It’s orange!) And chili was a lost cause since half of my children don’t eat beans.

This year is different. My kids are buying into the healing properties of soup. I keep telling them it’s great for sore throats, perfect for cold feet, it makes you big, it makes you strong, it’s cheap!! And there is quite a bit of truth to all of that. Therefore, as the first sickness of the season ripped through our house this past week, my daughter (soup doubter extraordinaire) asked for chicken noodle soup. It was received with rave reviews and they even ate it again for lunch the next day.

So, I am hopeful that this is just the first of many soups for the season. Hooray for soup!
