There are so many different ways to make chicken noodle soup. This one is a family favorite of ours. If you haven't tried sweet potatoes in chicken noodle soup, you have to try it, you will never go back to the old way. If you think about it sweet potatoes have the same consistency as parsnips (a usual ingredient in chicken noodle soup). It really gives it a different twist!
