Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup

by

I am posting an actual non-sweet recipe today. I get so excited for the Christmas season and the treats, but by the time Christmas comes, I’ve had my share of sweets. I am about to that point. Almost.

This soup is just like your traditional Chicken Noodle soup only a creamy version. It’s so comforting.
Preston was Santa in his school Christmas program. Since it is such a small school, we have a nice dinner afterwards for the guests. We’re talking a sit down meal like ham or potato soup with tons of delicious sides and homemade rolls and desserts. I’m telling you…small, in-the-middle-of-nowhere living is the bomb diggity.
