Quote Wendy, “I don’t have a huge story behind my Chicken and Homemade Noodle soup recipe. I just remember my grandma Glover always made us homemade noodle when I was a kid. We would go to her house as a family…..aunts, uncles, cousins included, for Sunday dinner. It was so such a great time, and the noodles were so good. So when my kids were young I decided I wanted to make homemade noodles too. So I made the noodles, and my own recipe to go with the noodle, that ended up being my chicken and noodle soup…..and they loved it!! Through the years I decided it would be a great food to make for others who were going through an illness, a birth of a baby, or a loss in the family. It’s such a good comfort food. I can’t begin to tell you how many batches of that soup I have made through the years!! I even did a demonstration one time at Mom’s Timeout to teach the young moms how to make it.”
