I can think of nothing better than delicious homemade chicken soup on a cold winter’s evening. Chicken soup has always seemed a mythological elixir of health to me. Whenever anyone gets sick, it is always on the top of the list of recommendations. My mother learned how to make homemade chicken noodle soup when I was in high school. Needless to say, it was quite the success.

If all else fails, there are always frozen t.v. dinners in the freezer πŸ™‚

Anyway, I am heading off to play in my adult league baseball championship game today and don’t want to be late, so here is the recipe that I like to use, although any will do.
