Grandma’s Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup was a classic that my grandma made for Sunday dinners. This dish was the most requested recipes that she received and still receives to this day. My grandparents came from humbling backgrounds and this was a comforting dish that didn’t cost much money but is packed with flavor.

4 chicken thighs

3-4 cups of water, just to cover chicken

3-4 chicken bouillons

2 bay leaves
