One of my most requested fall recipes….the all so comforting chicken noodle soup! This is a very basic recipe that involves cooking off some mirepoix-Onions, carrots and celery-in butter then deglazing with white wine, covering with water and simmering with chicken breasts, thyme and chicken base. This recipe gives you an amazing pop of rich, full chicken flavor and overall sense of comfort. This is a basic recipe, easy to prepare and easily customized.
