Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup

This past week I've been feeling under the weather with a sore throat and a growing cough. Apparently the one thing LA doesn't have is a specialty soup shop. Of course there's always Joan's on 3rd and various places that carry some soup options, but I was hoping to find a Zoup (soup restaurant chain) equivalent. Unfortunately, I couldn't find such a place and therefore had to make do on my own.

I knew I wanted some fall-apart chicken that only my crockpot could create, so I started searching for a simple but hearty slow cooker recipe that would hopefully make me feel better. I stumbled upon a great one (recipe here) from Cooking Classy, and I absolutely loved it!

The good thing about the simplicity of chicken noodle soup is that we already had almost everything on the ingredient list except egg noodles and biscuits. My wonderful husband stopped by Whole Foods after work to fill in the blanks, as well as pick up some extra cold medicine, lozenges, and tea. 

The soup turned out amazing and was exactly what I had been craving. A day later, I'm still feeling sick....but hey, that's what left-overs are for ;)

And I can't forget the biscuits! Fresh from the oven with some warm butter; it was the perfect way to complete the meal.

What's your favorite go-to meal or restaurant 

when you're feeling sick?
