My mom has been making this soup since I was young and given the cold weather we've been having, she included this dish as part of our luncheon menu. To me, this is the comforting chicken noodle soup that comes to mind since it's what I had growing up. There are other variations to this soup since everyone makes it a bit differently with their own twist, but nothing comes close to how my mom prepares it. She just has that type of magic...

Love the creaminess of this soup. Soup always feels more luxurious when it is creamy. It's perfect for these cold winter nights.
