I know that I'm partial, but my mom makes the best chicken noodle soup. It's coziness personified. So I am pasting this recipe exactly as she sent it to me - hearts and all. I'll try to sneak a picture the next time she makes it. Thanks Mom!
Momma's Chicken Thyme Soup:

3 boxes chicken broth (may need to add a 4th if get's to thick next day)
3 large chicken breast, *cook until chicken is just done but not over-done
Remove chicken into covered bowl, put in fridge until needed.
