How To Make Chicken Noodle Soup
Slice and dice. A great chefs knife and a good cutting board are your friend.
Start your soup engines! Like with all the best soup recipes, in a large (6 quart) soup pot or Dutch oven, heat the butter or olive oil. Cook the onion, celery and carrots until the onions are translucent for a few minutes and then add garlic.
Broth-ify. Pour in the stock and bay leaves, and get that gorgeous simmering for about 10 minutes.
Soup-ify. Add the chicken, egg noodles, parsley, salt and pepper. Simmer until the noodles are cooked.
Want to give your chicken soup even more flavor? You could add a squeeze of lemon juice, fresh dill, or more fresh parsley sprinkled on each bowl of soup.
How To Store + Chicken Noodle Soup Tips
A note about leftover chicken noodle soup: The egg noodles will soak up the chicken broth. You might need to add more broth. Homemade noodles are amazing in this soup.
Need this to be a gluten free chicken noodle soup? No problem! Just use gluten free noodles.
Need your easy chicken noodle soup to be even easier? Make it a rotisserie chicken noodle soup! Yes, just go ahead and use a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store for the chicken meat in the soup.
What are the best noodles for chicken noodle soup? We like egg noodles or fresh noodles from the grocery store (find them in the refrigerated section) or homemade noodles (though using homemade noodles does make this a slightly less quick and easy chicken noodle soup recipe.)
