A comforting and classic homemade chicken noodle soup recipe, perfect for a chilly day or when you’re feeling under the weather. This recipe features tender chicken, hearty vegetables, and perfectly cooked egg noodles in a flavorful broth.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 cups chicken broth (low sodium)
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 3 cups egg noodles (wide or medium)
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and cook until lightly browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from the pot and set aside.
  2. Add chopped onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables begin to soften, about 7-10 minutes.
  3. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in chicken broth. Stir in bay leaf, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Season with salt and black pepper.
  5. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  6. Return the cooked chicken to the pot. Add egg noodles. Increase heat to medium and cook according to package directions, typically 8-10 minutes, until noodles are tender. Be careful not to overcook the noodles.
  7. Remove the bay leaf before serving. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
  8. Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
  9. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can use chicken thighs.
  • If you don’t have fresh parsley, you can omit it or use dried parsley.
  • Ensure the chicken broth is low sodium if you are watching your sodium intake.
  • Do not overcook the noodles, as they will continue to soften in the hot soup.
