Creamy Chicken and Noodle Soup

Warning!!!!! ⚠️ This soup is delicious! You will be sad when it’s gone. It’s hard to share because you want it all for yourself. You may fight your spouse for the last of it. You might regret it if you don’t make a double batch.

This is my go-to soup recipe. Our entire family enjoys this soup. I can’t wait until the weather gets cold so I can justify making this feel-good soup. 

It has carrots, and spinach in it. It’s creamy, cheesy, hearty and delicious. This soup is garnished with some delicious Parmesan cheese.
