The key to this chicken noodle soup recipe lies in the bone broth that simmers the healing properties out of the bone-in chicken thighs for hours. This process creates a concentrated soup base that has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties. Fresh garlic added to this soup contains Allicine, an antibacterial anti-oxidant. Celery is full of antioxidants to give your immune system a boost so I don't recommend skipping that. It seems like a long cook time but trust me, it's worth it. Store bought bone broth or chicken stock will also work well here. This chicken noodle soup recipe is a powerful medicinal tool in the fight against your standard cough/cold/flu germs. It really is the best chicken noodle soup ever!
Testimonial from my coworker:
"The 11yo came home sick on the last day of school, and as predicted, we all ended up getting sick this weekend. We tried Lauren’s sickie blaster soup and all of us that ate it recovered within 24 hours!"

4 bone-in chicken thighs, skins removed
10 cups homemade or store bought bone broth

5 cups water

*Try gluten-free rotini, fusilli, or other gluten-free noodle here if desired. I've used chickpea rotini and it's just as delicious!
