I like to cook whole chickens, it lasts the family for days & there are so many varieties to how you can make them that I never seem to run out of new flavor opportunities! I've noticed the last few times I made one for dinner though, that there was so much chicken left over. I am a waste not, want not kind of person so I knew I needed a trick up my sleeve for the rest of this chicken! Now that it's cool (Yes, finally today I really needed to wear my sweater in Florida) I thought to myself , SOUP! It was an exciting thought because I knew the family would be happy & you would be excited by how simple & delicious this is to make!

This chicken soup is a classic example of comfort food & on a cold fall night there is nothing better! I used something new for this recipe & am thrilled with them! Rather than using bullion cubes or chicken broth I bought something called better than bullion. It is awesome! I love the flavor & one tiny jar has 38 servings! I am experimenting with making my own chicken broth, so this is a great solution for right now.
