Back to the classics — warm up this winter with slow-cooker chicken noodle soup.

 

End these cold winter days with a healthy, homemade chicken noodle soup for dinner. Pair with some whole grain bread, low-fat cheese and fruit for a complete meal.

To boost your vegetable intake, try adding other types of veggies such as zucchini, leeks, peas, broccoli or green beans. Kids may enjoy other types of uniquely-shaped noodles such as tortellini or bowties instead of egg noodles.
