Hearty Chicken and Noodles Recipe

I love cooking for my family. Over the years I have acquired many recipes that my family and I love to enjoy. Most of them are in my head so when Chris and Shelly asked me to share some of my favorite recipes, this hearty one was tops on my list. I love to make it on a chilly day as it is so warm and comforting! I hope you try it. You may need to adjust the quantities a bit as this is from memory with a little of this and a little of that…
