Chicken Noodle Soup

One of my new favorite grocery purchases is a rosemary garlic rotisserie chicken from the Albertsons deli. It's perfect because I usually get home late from grocery shopping and don't have any time to prepare a meal. This way it's already done for me!

So I had some leftover chicken meat and the first thought that came to mind was chicken noodle soup! It's one of Joe's faves and I had never made it from scratch, so I gave it a try last night. I got this recipes from AllRecipes.com and it was so easy and tasted delicious!!
