Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup

SAMSUNG CAMERA PICTURES

Chicken noodle soup is a classic. To me, there was nothing better than warming up to a bowl of soup with a side of grilled cheese, of course. 

Chicken noodle soup is balanced in and of itself regarding macros. Youโ€™re going to find protein, carbs, and fat. But the thing that it lacks the most is fiber. When I was making this recipe, I really wanted to focus on increasing the fiber and the overall protein content. I wanted to make something that was hearty, but that wasnโ€™t going to break the bank when it comes to macros. 

I feel like I did just that, without sacrificing any flavor. The traditional flavors that you knew and loved growing up are still at the forefront of this soup.

    So good! 4 year old approved! Added some cornstarch just to thicken it up. Will definitely make again. Love how your meals are already in MFP. Thank you!
