Normally I stick with my mom’s homemade chicken noodle soup recipe because it never fails me, but I didn’t have any egg noodles on hand, so I went an easier route.
Boxed soup mix!
I took this soup mix out of my parents’ pantry ages ago and it has been sitting in our pantry for months. The soup comes in a two-carton pack (I used the other pack as a post-long run breakfast during my half marathon training), and today I finally used the final pack and doctored it up with lots of extra vegetables (carrots, corn and onion) and chopped chicken breast.
I let everything simmer on the stovetop for a good 35 minutes so the flavors would really sink into the broth.
This super-simple soup ended up being pretty darn fantastic. A great dreary-day meal.
Now that we have warm soup in our bellies, Ryan and I are off to take Sadie on a pitch-black evening walk. We’re in the mood for some fresh air!
Enjoy your walk! I love soup!

I used to be obsessed with those Mrs. Grass boxed soups – especially the one with extra noodles
Elisabeth
That soup look so yummy for a chilly evening! I can’t wait to get my nose out of the books and back into the kitchen where it belongs. Finals week stinks big time! Enjoy your walk.
Sylvia @ Frolic Through Life
Your soup is so colorful! And I particularly like this one because it’s what I had for dinner as well
Enjoy your walk in the chill!

Ashley @ My Food ‘N’ Fitness Diaries
I made soup tonight too!
Lindsay
I had soup for lunch and went on a chilly evening walk with Maverick! Soup and cold temps are just a perfect combo.
Bess @ Bess Be Fit
I made soup too because it’s rainy and gray and O-town. And a grilled cheese sandwich!

I’m not really sure how corn got such a reputation as a vegetable, but it’s definitely a grain, not a vegetable. Since you listed it as a vegetable, I’m just commenting for future reference!
Julie
good call! thanks!!

That soup looks good to me! Chicken noodle will always be my favorite!
Katie @ Peace Love & Oats
My mom has a patented chicken soup recipe too, even though others are good they just aren’t quite right. Have a great night walk!
Paula @ lipstick and lunges
I always want to make chicken soup with leftover chicken carcass after we roast one, but it always seems like too much trouble to start from scratch. This looks ilke a great compromise!
Meg @RunRideLove

kathleen @ the daily crumb

Last 3 posts I read were about soup, we just had soup for dinner and you did too! Apparently, it was a soup kinda night
Gina @ Running to the Kitchen
I had soup for 4 dinners last week- so comforting!

Somewhat chilly evening walks are the best.
Although, I’m starting to miss evening spring walks now. I’ve been eating so much soup lately too~
Ellie@fitforthesoul
I bet your mom bought that soup at Big Lots. I LOVE Big Lots. Didnt know you had them in Florida (and I can tell from the PRICE TAG…that’s how familiar I am with bargain places)!
Andrea
LOVE soup! This post title totes made me think of that lady from the Food Network though.

That soup looks delicious!
There is nothing like a bowl of chicken noodle soup on a cold night.
Hope
That soup looks delicious! Nothing beats a bowl of good chicken noodle soup!
Hilliary @Happily Ever Healthy
Woho, what kind of chicken can survive monthS in the pantry?
nina
I have a box of broth that is begging to get used and really should make a batch of homemade soup rather than relying on Mr. Campbell
Allison
Soup looks so simple! I love eating soups and chili’s when it’s dreary and cold outside…:)
Brandi @ Fitness Faith and Laughter
I LOVE that you shop out of your parents’ pantry. I used to do that all the time when I lived much closer. In fact, it’s one thing I miss the most about living 10 hours away from them now!
