I couldn’t let the week end without this quintessential recipe. But as tasty as it is, it’s even better when you make it all your own. For my latest version I chopped up a whole head of garlic and added it to the pot. MMMmm! Vary ingredients by taste and season and just go with the flow. The beauty of chicken noodle soup is in its simplicity, its warmth and comfort. So whip up a batch this weekend, put your feet up and dig in. It’s medicine for whatever ails ye.
