Easy Chicken Soup
"Comfort food for the body and soul, without all the work...or the rendered chicken fat. Soup takes about an hour if you use noodles or cooked rice. I like it best with matzo balls, which have to be started at least 4 hours earlier. I love the addition of the tomatoes to the broth, they add so much flavor. Inspired by megnbrycesmom at fooddotcom"
