Cold and flu season is upon us! It kinda stinks… a cough, a cold, maybe even the flu comes knocking on our door. I know I’m never happy to face the sniffles or the aches. However, I do know that in our home we are always prepared. Our linen closet is ready for flu season, all stocked up with Kleenex, throat lozengers and more! And the refrigerator/pantry is stocked with ingredients for Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup, so we’re ready to go. If I’m really prepared, I even have it made and in the freezer {wink}.
How do you prepare for cold and flu season? Lysol on hand. Blankets ready for cuddling? Movies queued up on the DVR? I usually lay on the couch myself and when I stir, you might find me sitting at the table sipping on my Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup with a work search book close by — and my Kleenex within reach.
Kleenex and Chicken Noodle Soup seem to go hand in hand, don’t you agree? They both provide us a little TLC when we need it most (one for the tummy and one for the nose). So, let’s take a look at this delicious recipe!

Thanks for sharing this recipe! I’ve never made Chicken Noodle Soup, but I am sick and have a lot of time on my hands, so I thought I would give it a go!
For my soup, I substituted buccatini for egg noodles (just my preference), but I ended up making more broth to add by the end, because I felt there wasn’t enough. In addition, I omitted the Accent seasoning, only added 2 tsp salt, and that was more than enough.
The soup is delicious and perfect! Thanks again!
