Chicken Noodle Soup
Chicken Noodle Soup
The weather here in Northern WI has been chilly. Very, very chilly, for the month of June. We love soup any time of the year here on Turnips 2 Tangerines and this chicken noodle soup is perfect on a chilly summer evening or on a cold winters day. After all, any day is a good day for soup. A soup and sandwich combo is probably one of the best loved luncheon meals.
Classic Combinations
The classic soup and sandwich combinations that I like to make at home and order whenever I go out for lunch is of course tomato soup with grilled cheese sandwich, chicken noodle soup with a turkey club, ham and bean soup with turkey on sourdough and last but not least is broccoli cheese soup with roast beef on rye. They are for certain my favorite lunch combinations. What are yours?

Soup, Delicious and Good for You!
Old Fashioned Chicken Noodle Soup, just like mom used to make and exactly what the doctor ordered. Grandma’s and moms have been making chicken noodle soup for eons. Too chase away the winter chill and to ward off colds and the flu. Chicken noodle soup is good for whatever ails you. Nothing better than a cup of soup and half a sandwich for lunch, unless you want to add a handful of potato chips and a chocolate chip cookie!
