Chicken Noodle Soup is a classic, comforting dish made with tender chicken, soft noodles, and a flavorful broth filled with vegetables and herbs. Perfect for cold days, sick days, or whenever you need a warm and nourishing meal.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (or rotisserie chicken)
  • 6 oz egg noodles or wide pasta noodles
  • 3 carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 cups chicken broth or stock
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  3. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in chicken broth and add bay leaf, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.
  5. Reduce heat and let simmer for 10–15 minutes to develop flavor.

  7. Stir in shredded chicken and cook for a few more minutes until heated through.
  8. Remove bay leaf and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Add a splash of lemon juice at the end for brightness.
  • Substitute rice or orzo for noodles for a variation.
  • Include spinach or peas for extra vegetables.
  • Stir in a little cream or butter for added richness.
  • Keep noodles separate if freezing to avoid sogginess.
