Super-easy chicken noodle soup for the family

Now that winter is upon us our bodies start to crave warming and nourishing meals. One of the best ways to get a tonne of immune-boosting ingredients into our little cherubs over winter is to find a really delicious (and nourishing) chicken noodle soup recipe. It’s funny how the addition of noodles tends to make soup far more acceptable to kids, why is that? What I love about this recipe is it’s a super-easy family meal and it can also be warmed up and packed in a thermos for the kids to enjoy a hearty, warm meal at school too.
