My family is obsessed with chicken noodle soup. I literally paid my brother in law to move a piano for me in chicken noodle soup. We probably have it once a week, so now I think we have it down to a science. I always make it in my instant pot to save time (and so I don’t have to babysit it). I am certainly not a chef or a food blogger but I hope this recipe makes sense and is yummy for you and your family!
Thyme is such a powerhouse of a herb. Amazing for colds, chest congestion, sinus pressure, and coughs. Thyme is most widely known for being a chicken noodle soup herb.
It tastes herby, drying, and slightly heating. Thyme is antitussive, antispasmodic, expectorant, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, antioxidant, astringent , anti inflammatory (and more).
Keep a ton of thyme on hand in the winter months! It is amazing in a bath for kids with a cough, as a facial steam for adults with stuffed and swollen sinuses, in chicken noodle soup for building nourishment in the body, and more! I buy this in the bulk section!

We love this chicken noodle soup and I hope you do too! If you’re under the weather, it pairs great with elderberry syrup and a shot of fire cider!
