Growing up, my Mom used to make this Chicken Noodle Soup in the Winter for us to enjoy as a family.
There is nothing more comforting than a bowl of this hot soup with a slice of buttered bread during the cooler months. With a hint of dill and tasty egg noodles, the flavour combination is wonderfully cozy.
All you need is a big pot of this Chicken Noodle Soup, your favourite bread and butter, and your family and friends for a perfect Winter Gathering.
One of my favourite things to do is host people at our house for delicious food and drinks.
I love getting together for easy-going meals where we can enjoy each other’s company over great food. This Chicken Noodle Soup packs a ton of flavour and most of the recipe time is spent at the beginning prepping the ingredients.
Then, once everything is simmering away in the pot all you have to do is enjoy your guests’ company until the soup is done.

The secret ingredient in this soup is the dill; it adds wonderfully to the overall flavour and goes so perfectly with the chicken and egg noodles. If you’re a lover of dill like I am, I think this is the soup for you!
So, set aside an afternoon or evening, invite your friends and family over and enjoy company, this Chicken Noodle Soup and the coziness of a Winter Gathering.

Chicken Noodle Soup is the best kind of comfort food during cold winter days. My mom introduced me to cooking and/or adding dill into recipes in the 90’s. Fortunately everyone in our family loves it as much as I do! Lovely looking soup!
