Looks amazing!! I will be trying this for sure! Chicken noodle soup is one of those thing I miss most since becoming vegetarian.
i love making soup! i used to make big pots of soup and let them simmer for 2 whole days to get that perfect flavor! i added veggie broth, carrots, onions, celery, potatoes, pasta, parsnips and dill. It was so amazing. this totally makes me want to make soup again, i might have to try this recipe!
