There is nothing quite like a bowl of homemade chicken noodle soup when you need a little comfort. The addition of turmeric gives the broth a beautiful golden glow and a gentle earthy flavor that feels so good for the soul.

My favorite thing about this recipe is how flexible it is. You can let it simmer away on your stovetop or pop everything into your slow cooker if you have a busy afternoon ahead of you.

🧺 Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, diced
2 carrots, sliced
2 celery stalks, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
8 cups chicken broth
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
4 ounces egg noodles
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. Cook for about five minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
3
Stir in the garlic, turmeric, and thyme. Cook for one minute until fragrant.
4
Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
5
Add the egg noodles and cook for about eight minutes or until they are tender.
6
Stir in the shredded chicken and cook for another two minutes until everything is warmed through.
7
Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve with a sprinkle of fresh parsley.

💡 Tips

Store your leftovers in the fridge for up to three days, but keep in mind the noodles will soak up the broth as they sit. If you plan to freeze this, leave out the noodles and add fresh ones when you reheat the soup to keep them from getting mushy.
