Missy's Chicken Noodle Soup
A comforting, old-fashioned chicken noodle soup prepared by simmering a whole stewing chicken with vegetables and herbs to make a rich broth, then adding egg noodles and shredded chicken.
Surprise your family by serving this with cut apples and sharp cheddar cheese. Weird but awesome combo.
