Old Fashioned Chicken Noodle Soup
"Just about everyone loves chicken noodle soup, so we decided to share our favorite version. We use roasted chicken thighs and drumsticks and simmer them with carrots, celery, onions, cabbage, garlic and parsley to produce a richly flavored stock. For the finished soup, we add a fresh batch of vegetables, diced tomatoes and broad egg noodles. It truly is a complete meal in a bowl...."
