This is fast and easy, tastes even better the day after you make it, and you can embellish it with shredded cheese, crushed tortilla chips, salsa...the options are endless! I wish I could remember where I got it; seems like I've always had it! I like to add a little chipotle powder to "kick it up" a bit! I'm guessing at how many this will serve...because I'm not good at sharing!

Quick and Easy Chicken Noodle Soup image

When you don't have time (or don't feel well enough) to make your soup totally from scratch, this is a very easy, very good substitute. I know that traditional Chicken Noodle soup does not have Garlic or Italian spices in it but since I am Italian I think that garlic should be added into practically everything and especially soup for its medicinal values. This will cure what ails you!
