Notes:

I  make this recipe whenever someone is sick.  I don't really like chicken noodle soup, and so this is my own version.  I usually also make mom's rolls to go with it.  The lemon really adds a nice flavor. And many of the ingredients are recommended for when you have the flu! I made it for my brother's family when they were sick and they said it was the only thing that they could eat while they were sick.  So hopefully that says something good :)
