Description

Nothing beats the comfort of a warm bowl of homemade chicken noodle soup. Packed with tender chicken, hearty vegetables, and comforting noodles in a flavorful broth, this soup is perfect for chilly nights or when you’re feeling under the weather. Simple, cozy, and always satisfying.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 medium onion, chopped

  • 2 carrots, peeled and sliced

  • 2 celery stalks, sliced

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 6 cups chicken broth

  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)

  • 1 1/2 cups egg noodles

  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 2 bay leaves

  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (optional, for a bright flavor)


Instructions

  • In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until vegetables are softened.

  • Add minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute, stirring frequently.

  • Pour in the chicken broth and add shredded chicken, thyme, rosemary, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.

  • Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes to let the flavors meld.

  • Add egg noodles and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.

  • Remove the bay leaves and discard them.

  • Stir in fresh parsley and lemon juice (if using) before serving for added brightness.

 

  • Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a heartier soup, you can add extra vegetables like peas or corn.

  • If you have leftover turkey or rotisserie chicken, this is a great recipe for using it up!

  • You can substitute gluten-free noodles if needed for a gluten-free version.

 

  • This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or frozen for up to 3 months.
