Where’s the Chicken? Noodle Soup

I love the fall and winter, cooler temperatures mean I can heat up my house by cooking up a storm in the kitchen. A mug of soup and fresh baked bread are two of my favorite cold weather foods. No meat, no problem. I added boiled potatoes to this soup to make it a little more filling since there wasn’t any meat in the soup. ENJOY!
