Quick & Easy Classic Chicken Noodle Soup

Serving  your family nutritious and delicious meals does not always have to equate to spending hours in the kitchen.  With flu season coming it is even more important to stay healthy and keep your immune systems strong by eating the right kind of food.  Hearty homemade Chicken Noodle Soup is such a great dinner idea during this time of year and being able to make it in no time flat with no compromise with flavour makes this version a real keeper.

To be able to make this even at your worst, prep your veggies as indicated and freeze until needed.  Even the Maple Leaf Prime Chicken Strips use in this recipe may be purchased ahead of time and frozen then  defrosted prior to using in this soup.

It sure beats a can of soup any day!  If you have a little extra energy, while the soup is simmer, throw together some cheesy garlic bread. That roasted garlic will do your body wonders!
