Chicken Noodle Soup with Dill

:  Winter 2004, The Essential EatingWell Cookbook (2004)

Your rating: None Average: 4 (118 votes)

Chicken noodle soup is undeniably comfort food for many people (especially when they're not feeling well) and this version gets a healthful update. Whole-wheat egg noodles add fiber and nutrients and reduced-sodium chicken broth cuts the sodium. By all means use homemade chicken broth if you have it.
