Notes
TIPS
Garlic, onions, and parsley can help fight a cold so feel free to load in there! I always do.
Season Up That Broth- Be sure to really season up that chicken broth with salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning to really bring out the natural flavors! You can also throw in some basil and thyme! Yummy!
Short on time? Use Rotisserie chicken if you must.
Enjoy the process! Don't attempt to make this soup a busy day. It's a totally lazy day recipe. It requires love and care to be the best.
To Freeze: Let soup cool, place into freezer bags, and lay flat on a baking sheet. When frozen, stack the bags of soup and label them.
