An easy recipe for comforting, nourishing chicken noodle soup just like your grandma used to make. (dairy-free, nut-free, gluten-free option)
Disclosure: I was provided a free copy of the Fertility Foods Cookbook to review. All opinions are my own.
Have you met my friends Liz and Sara? If not, go check them out because not only are they both wonderful registered dietitians and culinary geniuses, but they also share a struggle with many women that isn’t often talked about.
Liz and Sara are both warriors for women who are struggling with infertility. They share their stories and offer support for other families dealing with infertility. They also turned their passions into a cookbook! While I have not personally struggled with infertility, 1 in 8 couples do. It can be a lonely road, and these two lovely women wrote the Fertility Foods Cookbook to help support others that are on their journey to starting a family.
Fertility Foods is filled with both scientific-backed nutrition tips and delicious recipes to help women’s (and men’s) bodies feel and function their best when it comes to conceiving. It’s also a great resource for those who just want to fuel their bodies the best they can, regardless of weather you are trying to conceive or not. And of course, the recipes are delicious! You can find their book on Amazon, or head to my Instagram for a GIVEAWAY!
This Chicken Noodle Soup came from the Fertility Foods cookbook. It is cozy, comforting and delicious – everything you want from a big bowl of soup! It is made with nourishing ingredients like whole wheat noodles, fresh veggies and big chunks of chicken breast. So much better than anything you can get from a can.
Even better, this Chicken Noodle Soup is so easy to make! All it takes is a few simple ingredients and a little patience as it simmers. Liz and Sara’s version is made in the slow cooker so that you can dump it and forget it, but I made this one on the stovetop. It tastes amazing either way, just like your grandma made it! This soup is truly a big hug in a bowl when you need it.
