There is nothing quite like a big bowl of homemade chicken noodle soup to warm you up from the inside out. It is one of those timeless recipes that feels like a big hug, and it always tastes better when you make it from scratch with fresh veggies and tender chicken.

My best tip for this soup is to cook the noodles separately if you think you will have leftovers. This keeps them from soaking up all your delicious broth and getting mushy while sitting in the fridge.

🧺 Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup chopped yellow onion
1 cup sliced carrots
1 cup sliced celery
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 cups chicken broth
2 cups cooked shredded chicken
8 ounces egg noodles
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and black pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
2
Add the onion, carrots, and celery to the pot and cook until the vegetables soften.
3
Stir in the garlic and cook for one minute until it smells fragrant.
4
Pour in the chicken broth and add the dried thyme, then bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
5
Lower the heat and let the soup simmer for about 10 minutes.
6
Stir in the shredded chicken and the egg noodles, cooking until the noodles are tender.
7
Season with salt and pepper to your liking and serve hot with a sprinkle of fresh parsley.

💡 Tips

Serve this soup with a side of warm crusty bread or saltine crackers for dipping. If you have leftovers, store the soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
