I love making a large batch of chicken noodle soup. It’s perfect for dinner and makes great leftovers. You can also freeze some for another day. Having homemade soup in the freezer can make busy days much easier.
Using a whole chicken gives this soup plenty of tender meat. It also creates a flavorful broth as the chicken simmers. Fresh vegetables and herbs add even more flavor. The best part is that this recipe doesn’t require complicated ingredients.
