BRIDGET'S CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP

Back about 1985, Bridget brought this to my house when we brought Mother home with us to Sandy Court after she broke her ankle. Bridget told me I sounded like I needed some love and she brought this with cornbread and cookies. I think of her every time I make this recipe or make cornbread.

Add vegetables to the soup as they are cooking. This will help to infuse the soup with flavor and nutrients. Some good vegetables to add include carrots, celery, onions, and garlic.
Season the soup to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or sage.
Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. This will help to develop the flavor of the soup.
