When I was a little girl, my grandma would come visit us once a year and make this absolutely amazing chicken soup with homemade noodles. She would spend all day in the kitchen preparing it. She had quite an art for making the noodles. It was fun to watch, but boy what a lot of work that was. She was an amazing cook with a lot of patience.
I love a good Chicken Noodle soup, especially when the weather starts to change. However when I get home from work I don’t always have a lot of time to spend on preparing it. As much as I would love to have the luxury of having those home made noodles like my grandma made, I love to take shortcuts. This Sour Cream Chicken Noodle Soup doesn’t take a long time to make since I cut my preparation time down by using precooked chicken that you buy in the freezer section of the grocery store, and noodles that taste like homemade but were also bought.
I actually just made this recipe up as I went and when I was done my family was absolutely in love with it. My husband told me that this soup has to now be part of my regular meals that I tend to get in a habit of making.
There isn’t anything fancy about this Chicken Noodle soup and I think that is what I love about it. Sometimes less is best.
