We're now entering that phase of winter where I'm pretty much over the cold, snow, and general fear of the flu. Needless to say, I'm looking forward to the first peek of green popping through the ground, but those days feel a long way off, no matter what a groundhog says. So instead, I just sit by a fire, cuddle under some blankets, and cradle a large mug of this wholesome chicken noodle soup.
I always keep soup mixes on hand for quick dinners that are rich, hearty, and ready in a flash. Seriously, who has the time to spend hours in the kitchen? Each soup mix comes with everything you need to create a soup with a “from scratch" flavor that even your grandmother will think you slaved in the kitchen. Little does she know, this recipe can be whipped up in about 20 minutes with the help of one of those aforementioned mixes — the Chicken Noodle Soup Mix, of course — and your handy, dandy multicooker.
This Chicken Noodle Soup recipe will become a winter staple in your family's meal plan. It's a great option for a busy weeknight dinner and a must-have remedy for cold season.
