There is nothing quite like a pot of chicken noodle soup simmering on the stove to make a house feel like a home. This recipe is the one I turn to whenever someone feels a bit under the weather or when the air gets a little chilly outside. It uses simple ingredients that you likely already have in your pantry.

The secret to a really good soup is letting the vegetables soften just right before you add the broth. If you are in a hurry, using a rotisserie chicken makes this come together even faster without losing any of that lovely homemade flavor.

🧺 Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
2 large carrots, sliced into rounds
2 stalks celery, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
8 cups chicken broth
2 cups shredded cooked chicken
2 cups wide egg noodles
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Start by heating the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
2
Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery to the pot and cook them until the vegetables begin to soften.
3
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about one minute until it smells fragrant.
4
Pour in the chicken broth and add the dried thyme, then turn up the heat to bring everything to a boil.
5
Drop in the egg noodles and let them cook for about 8 to 10 minutes until they are tender.
6
Lower the heat and stir in the shredded chicken, allowing it to warm through for a few minutes.
7
Taste your soup and add salt and pepper as needed, then sprinkle the fresh parsley on top before serving.

💡 Tips

You can store leftovers in the fridge for up to three days. If the noodles soak up the liquid while sitting, simply add a splash of broth or water when you warm it back up.
