Chicken Noodle Soup | The Fauxmartha

You’ll be wanting this Saturday when you can’t stand to eat another turkey sandwich. Throw all that leftover turkey in a soup and call it chicken noodle soup. You’ll be happy, fooled, and filled with something other than a turkey sandwich. Chicken works beautifully the other 363 days of the year.

Now, don’t hate me when I tell you that I added half and half to this perfectly light recipe. I couldn’t help myself. This tiny addition reminds me of chicken pot pie—comfort food at it’s finest. Still hate me? Brothy is good, but chicken pot pie in a soup is better. And so is running on the treadmill. So with that I say, cheers! Cheers to half and half in my soup…and running on the treadmill. I’ll have my soup and eat it.
