Recipe: Roasted Chicken Noodle Soup

In my opinion, gloomy, cold, lazy Sundays generally call for movies on the couch and bowls after bowls of homemade soup.

A few weeks ago (on a Sunday similar to yesterday), I was a little under the weather and was craving some homemade soup. While I usually gravitate toward vegetable-heavy, minestrone-esque type soups (my personal favorite), I was in the mood  (and have been ever since) for comfort foods (in this case, pasta and potatoes). After a little research, I found a phenomenal recipe for homemade roasted chicken noodle soup. I say phenomenal because Jack and I finished all the soup we made within two days (yes, we ate it for every lunch and dinner). It was that good.

My favorite part about this soup recipe is that it's unbelievably simple and doesn't take long to make. It's perfect for slow Sundays, or even a weekday night dinner. Needless to say, it's now one of our favorites. We'll be making it again soon!
