Chicken Noodle Soup!

I cannot bring myself to buy canned soup. I have heard that it is cooked three times before being canned! Which means zero nutrients and of course extra sodium and preservatives. No thanks! Instead, I opted for a healthy homemade recipe with plenty of fat burning and wholesome ingredients! I found this recipe online and it's awesome and super easy to make! Try it out! (Great as a leftover, quick meal too).
