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. Youโre 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 wasnโt 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!
