Healthy Chicken Noodle Soup

I have a comforting, healthy soup recipe for you today! :)

....Because it felt like Spring was coming, and now it's cold again, so I think we all need some yummy soup this weekend.

What better than chicken noodle? 

Not the canned soup loaded with additives and preservatives but something fresh and actually good for your body.

Here's the recipe!

Hope you will add it to your meal prep this week!

PS. I found this recipe on the cooking show that is available on the same website where I stream my workouts, which is so great! Sometimes when I look up recipes on Pinterest it can be hard to make them healthy enough or to figure out how to portion control everything, and I like that in this cooking show all the framework is already laid out for me... so achieving my goals becomes really attainable :)
