When my kids were little, and their favorite holiday was Halloween, I thought- if I make something the kids really like, they will actually eat dinner before they go out and fill up on sugar. They all loved home made chicken noodle soup and scones. So began the tradition. I don't use a recipe- just mix together water- to make chicken stock, throw in some chunky carrots, celery, onion, seasoning and chicken. Simmer for a long time, strain off the fat, add some noodles...that was it. I found a recipe for Crock Pot Chicken Noodle Soup, and thought it sounded good. I think good chicken noodle soup needs tarragon, and lots of chicken flavor, so I modified a bit. Try it- I think you'll love it too.
