Savory Chicken and Noodle Soup

This savory chicken and noodle soup is a comforting and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. The chicken broth is rich and flavorful, and the noodles, carrots, celery, onion, and garlic add a variety of textures and flavors. The thyme, salt, and pepper add depth and seasoning to the soup. This soup is sure to warm you up on a cold day.

I first had this soup when I was a child. My mother would make it for me whenever I was sick. The warm, comforting broth would always make me feel better. I have since started making this soup for my own family, and it has become a favorite of ours. I love that it is so easy to make and that it is so versatile. I often add different vegetables to the soup, depending on what I have on hand. I also sometimes add cooked rice or pasta to the soup. This soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken. It is also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables.
