A classic and comforting Old Fashioned Chicken Noodle Soup recipe, perfect for a chilly day. This recipe is easy to follow and yields a flavorful, hearty soup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, peeled and diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 cups egg noodles
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until vegetables are softened, about 8-10 minutes.
  2. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Pour in chicken broth. Add shredded cooked chicken, bay leaf, and dried thyme. Season with salt and black pepper.
  4. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for at least 20-30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  5. Add egg noodles to the simmering soup. Cook according to package directions, usually 7-10 minutes, or until tender.
  6. Remove the bay leaf before serving. Stir in fresh parsley.
  7. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Serve hot.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can use homemade chicken broth.
  • Ensure chicken is fully cooked before adding to the soup.
  • Adjust the amount of salt and pepper to your preference.
  • If making ahead, cook noodles separately and add just before serving to prevent them from becoming mushy.
