After making my Slow Cooker Vegetable Beef Soup a couple of weeks ago, I was looking forward to making more soups for us to enjoy for dinners this fall. Soups are perfect for packing the leftovers in the kiddos lunches. Saves me $$’s and provides them with a hot lunch. PERFECT!

I did my usual run to Aldi to check for some meat deals. I always find great markdowns on chicken and this week, I hit the mother lode. I scored some great deals on chicken thighs, chicken breasts, and also some ground beef. I love it when I score such great markdowns on meat. Prices have been through the darn roof lately.

After making my Honey Garlic Chicken Thighs, I do not pass up the markdowns on chicken thighs. The flavor found in thighs is amazing! I decided to use this batch of chicken thighs I bought for this homemade chicken noodle soup. Campbell’s canned chicken noodle soup is great when you are in a rush but homemade chicken noodle soup is so much better than the canned stuff. Plus the cost of the canned has went through the roof. Maybe I am just getting older but I am finding it so much cheaper to make so many items from scratch now.

I used Fresh Chicken thighs with the bone in that I scored on a great markdown, fresh carrots, celery, onion, garlic, egg noodles, and a few other items found in my pantry. The whole process was just a couple of hours and the soup was filled with so much flavor.
