My mom’s version is a step above the rest, made with homemade stock and Chicken that take just 35 minutes to make.The end result is the easiest and most delicious chicken soup you’ll ever have for dinner.

Have you ever tasted a dish that was so good you thought to yourself that it could seal the deal and win anyone over? Well this soup which is called Marry Me Chicken Soup might just be that dish.

I was simply trying to use up some leftover chicken and I had no special plans but after just one spoonful my husband looked at me as if I had proposed to him all over again and of course I had not.

It is creamy and it is comforting and it has that slow simmered fancy kind of feel even though it does not take much effort and it is perfect for chilly nights or for lazy Sundays or for impressing someone special or even just for treating yourself because self love is important too.

And you should not worry if your first attempt turns out a little messy because mine boiled over the first time and I ended up scraping soup off the stovetop as if that step was part of the recipe.
