Move aside House of the Dragon and NFL, it is soup season. 

Dearest readers, if you have been following the weather recently not only will you have noticed the cold and rain, but also the snow. SNOW. While it is much too soon for snow in my humble opinion it does usher in soup supremacy season, when a nice spoon of soup is just as sought after for the taste as the heart. 

Along with these colder temperatures comes a fresh bout of sickness that is likely to spread across campus, so I am here to equip you with the soup to fight it. Of course, I am talking about a creamy chicken noodle soup.

A classic, a crowd-pleaser and incredibly easy. 

Not only does this recipe fight the worst colds or flu but also is affordable and delicious. In an effort to give only the most up-to-date information to our reader base, I made this recipe just recently for my sick girlfriend. I can confirm that it was not just me liking the recipe based on how quickly the bowl was emptied out. 

This soup is a winner. 

But you do not have to be sick or shivering in order to enjoy this soup. With somewhat minimal ingredients you can create a thick and creamy soup that is filling and really makes you feel like an expert chef. 

Make sure the next time you want some soup to keep this one in mind. 

Hope you enjoy it!
