Chicken Noodle Soup with Mushrooms
Here is a creamy, soothing recipe for chicken noodle soup. I added mushrooms and lots of herbs for more flavor in my version of this classic comfort food. My son started to get a fever yesterday, but thankfully, it broke quickly. This was his feel better soup. I was hoping he wouldn’t get what I caught earlier in the week. I started getting a fever Sunday, and it didn’t break until yesterday. My only other symptom was a migraine and dizziness, so I spent most of the week sleeping it off. My husband brought me some store bought chicken noodle soup the other night, along with several other items, in hopes that I would like something and eat it. The soup he got had a perfect creamy consistency, but had a funny taste that I didn’t care for. It just gave me a huge craving for a really good creamy chicken noodle soup, and after my son not feeling good yesterday, I thought, what a better time to make my own. This was such a great, creamy chicken noodle soup that made us both feel better.

Chicken soup and I are great friends. I had a Jewish mama who made it every Friday of my life growing up. I love the addition of cream in the soup here — something I am not accustomed to. Your photo is beautiful and very enticing. I want to make this soup soon. Thanks for sharing.
Sorry to hear you and your son were ill. Hopefully you are both feeling better. This soup sounds amazing! Love that there is butter in it, must add so much flavor. Have a great weekend
