 Old-Fashioned Chicken Noodle Soup is classic American comfort food. Really, does it get any better? Flavorful stock, fresh-cooked chicken, traditional vegetables, and egg noodles lend starchy body to the broth of this favorite soup that’s ready in just over an hour. If you don’t have a Dutch oven, you can cook the dish in a large stockpot or soup pot (slow-cooker). This recipe can be doubled easily so you can enjoy some now and freeze the leftovers for a quick meal on busy weeknights.
