Homemade Chicken Soup Recipe

Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup is perfect for the next time your family is feeling under the weather or if you just need a comforting meal to get you through the rest of the Winter blahs!

This winter has been horrible for colds and the flu going around our home and the daycare. Despite all of my best efforts in cleaning and disinfecting, those germs keep getting us. After everyone in my household got the stomach flu, I wasn’t sure what they’d all want to eat. So, I decided on the most known comfort food around – Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup!

Ingredients

  • Carrots – Chop them up into bite-sized pieces.
  • Celery – This is a great way to use up the celery!
  • Bay leaf – Added for flavoring.
  • Chicken stock – Chicken broth can work as well.
  • Egg noodles – I lvoe egg noodles because they’re a thicker texture of noodle.
  • Cooked Chicken – Cubed chicken or shredded chicken are the textures I prefer.
  • Salt
  • Black pepper

I also think that adding in some garlic and thyme makes fun a totally great flavor as well. I’d add a teaspoon at a time just to be sure.

Chicken Soup Recipe FAQS

Can you make this using rotisserie chicken?

You bet! This recipe is a great way to use a leftover whole chicken. Adding the shredded chicken can come from leftover or previously frozen cooked chicken that you’re needing to use.

You can use skinless chicken breasts, leftover chicken thighs, and more. Just make sure that you shred the meat and remove any bones if there are any.

Can you use chicken broth instead of chicken stock?

Absolutely. When you’re making this soup from scratch, either will work. You can also use some water and chicken bullion cubes as well. Once you add in the bay leaves and other herbs, the flavors really stand out.

What other vegetables can be added to this simple soup recipe?

Large carrots and celery are a winning choice but I also think that onions and mushrooms would be amazing, too! If you’re a fan of corn or okra, those might work as well!

I also think that some green veggies like spinach and fresh parsley would go well with this dish, too.

Can you make this simple chicken soup in the Instant Pot?

You bet. I think that cooking Instant Pot Chicken Noodle Soup sounds great. And if you’re loving the thought of using your instant pot for chicken, check out my Crock Pot Chicken and Noodles for a similar taste that I think you’ll love!

    Second time making this delicious soup! The stock recipe is easy and the soup itself assembles easily also. With 8 ounces of noodles, I used more than 2 quarts of stock – more like 3 quarts , as the noodles do absorb the broth. It freezes well- a family favorite !!
