When everyone in the house is under the weather, this is the soup I make on repeat. It’s simple, soothing, and familiar – the kind of meal that feels like care in a bowl. Mild enough for little ones with sensitive stomachs, but easy to dress up for adults who want a little extra flavor, this one-pot chicken noodle soup is perfect for sick days, snow days, and any night when comfort is the priority and energy is low.
