Notes:

Chicken noodle soup, it will certainly cure what ails one in the cold bitter winter months. So in honor of my lovely province of residence getting a record amount of snow this December, and record number of bitterly below average cold, let's share a recipe for some more traditional soup. A lovely Grandma kind of chicken noodle soup to be precise.  But I can hear you wondering why on earth I would want to name a soup after a music group? Well they have a lovely little song called Scarborough Fair, where they sing a line "Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme" throughout the song. Which are going to be the main herbs and flavors in the soup. So it does make sense, once you know the whole story.

Also this is a recipe one of my first roommates taught to me and she always called it Simon and Garfunkel soup, so I will keep the tradition alive.
