Craving comfort food in Winter is normal and nothing quite hits the spot like Chicken Noodle Soup!

This is real chicken soup for the soul. Packed with goodness and high on the yumminess scale, your family will soon be lining up for seconds just like mine!

This soup is perfect for dinner or packed to take to work or school for lunch.

The recipe calls for chicken broth which I’m always making in large batches to have on hand to add to everything I can! Here’s my recipe for Homemade Chicken Broth.

I’m often asked how to keep the food hot until lunchtime.

Well, it’s as easy as 1, 2, 3:

Boil the kettle and then pour the water into the thermoses, be sure to pop the lids on
Heat up the food
Pour out the hot water add the warmed up food into the container, then pop the lid on immediately.

My fave insulated jars which have lasted me years I got from Biome:

Biome Insulated Jars
In these containers I pack soups, pastas, any hot meals and also cold salads.

Goodbyn Insulated Food Jar 12oz 350ml – Blue
I like this smaller size option to keep things cool like yoghurt, granola and fruit, overnight oats or to keep things warm like the chicken nuggets or smaller serves of things like soup, stew, pasta.

If you’re looking for more lunch inspiration, take a look at my new recipe ebook, Easy Wholefood Lunchboxes. It’s packed with 40 delicious nut-free, refined sugar free sweet and savoury recipes which have all been kid-tested and approved!

There’s even a delicious recipe for Kale and Cannelleni Bean Minestrone which my kids love taking to school in their insulated container.

Many of the ingredients in this recipe can be sourced from my one-stop-favourite, organic wholefoods online store, The Wholefood Collective. They go to great lengths to ensure everything they source is amazing quality, they stock all my favourite products and I don’t even have to leave the house! Oh and the cherry on the cake is they donate profits to improve food security for vulnerable Aussies.
