My wife Susan and I woke up this morning to 2" of snow and ice outside. We were going to be stuck inside for the day so, Susan decided a hot bowl of soup would be nice. Susan had boiled a whole chicken and some chicken breasts a few days ago to make the broth in preparation for this soup. Max would like to have some chicken soup too!
