Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup

by Mary 6 Comments

This is my favorite homemade chicken noodle soup recipe! It's full of flavor and perfectly comforting for a chilly night, or even when you're not feeling well. Over the past week the girls and I have been sick. Not so sick we can’t move, but sick enough we didn’t leave the house for a week and we spent most of the time in our pajamas (don’t worry, we own many many sets of pajamas.)

On one of my sickest days I decided we needed soup. Homemade chicken noodle soup always seems to hit the spot and makes us feel better, I was hoping this time wouldn’t be different.

Lucky for us, it wasn’t. A bowl of soup for each of us and some fresh baked dinner rolls, that I didn’t mess up on this time, gave us all a little more pep in our step. It didn’t cure us, and I didn’t expect it would, but sometimes when you haven’t had the energy to eat more than a few bites of cold cereal or half a cheese sandwich, a nice hot, wholesome meal can do wonders.

This is the basic chicken noodle soup recipe I use when we’re sick or when we just want a hot bowl of soup in the chilly weather. It’s simple but oh so good. I cheated and used a package of frozen egg noodles, but if you want to make your own, go for it! We often make our own but I didn’t have the energy to knead the dough or roll them out this time.

This is my favorite homemade chicken noodle soup recipe! It's full of flavor and perfectly comforting for a chilly night, or even when you're not feeling well. Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup

Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breasts cut into bite sized pieces
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cups of chicken broth
  • 1 cup of frozen corn
  • 1 package frozen egg noodles (or make your own homemade)
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • 1 tbsp parsley flakes
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large, heavy pot at medium heat. Once oil is heated add chicken and cook until it is white on all sides.
  2. Add in onion, carrots, celery, garlic and thyme. Cook until veggies are soft.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and heat until boiling. You may want to turn up the heat just a bit for this.
  4. Add in egg noodles (frozen or homemade, you want it boiling either way). Cook 30 to 45 minutes at low to medium heat until noodles are cooked through. We usually cut one in half to see if it’s done.
  5. Add in corn, parsley, salt and pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes or until corn is heated up.
  6. Serve and enjoy!

      I’ll post about our homemade noodles on another day. They’re pretty easy but take a little time to make. I love how you can cut them to the size you want, either smaller thinner noodles, thicker longer noodles…it’s your choice! They’re sooooooo good too!

    That looks delicious! I’m pinning the recipe. I love chicken soup when I’m sick, or chicken stew with dumplings is yummy too!

      Thanks for the pin! I was extremely happy with this recipe when I figured it out. Usually I make soup by just tossing things in. This time I used less herbs and it actually made it better! Go figure, lol.

    Homemade soup is one of my favorite comfort foods when I’m feeling under the weather. That, and mashed potatoes with gravy. I like brothy soups that are spicy with lots of veggies. Your soup looks delish!

      Yum! We like to serve a thicker version of chicken noodle soup over mashed potatoes. It’s fantastic! I also agree with the veggies. I like to add more. the more the merrier! I didn’t add as many to this one because my kids were sick and I wanted them to eat more of it. Usually I leave them in and if they don’t eat dinner, then that’s their choice. Like all kids, mine are a bit picky on the types of veggies they’ll eat.
