How To Make The Best Chicken Noodle Soup – Step By Step

In a large dutch oven or pot, heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Add the celery, carrots and onion. Cook for 5 – 7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender. Then, add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more.

Add the chicken broth and seasonings, to the pot and bring to a low boil. Boil for 5 – 10 minutes, until the vegetables are cooked through.

Add the egg noodles to the pot and boil for 10 minutes, until the noodles are cooked to al dente, still slightly firm. If needed, add an extra cup of water or broth to adjust the consistency of your soup.

Add the cooked chicken and boil for 2 – 3 minutes more. Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste.

Serve while warm and optionally garnish with chopped parsley, crackers or bread.

What Are The Best Noodles For Noodle Soup?

I used egg noodles. The great thing about this soup is that any kind of noodles will work! Popular types of noodles for soup are: 

• Farfalle pasta
• Elbow macaroni
• Rotini

How To Store The Best Chicken Noodle Soup

Store your soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4-5 days, depending on the freshness of the chicken you used.

Allow the soup to cool completely and store it in a freezer safe container for 2-3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge, or over medium heat on the stove. If using store bought noodles undercook the noodles before freezing the soup, to avoid them getting soggy upon reheating.

Add Ins For This Soup

This recipe is easy to customize: add more or less vegetables depending on your preference. Popular additions include corn, peas, or seasonal vegetables.

Feel free to add in fresh or dried herbs, such as thyme, basil, oregano or rosemary to the liquid while the chicken is simmering.

Also, a good amount of black cracked pepper or crushed red chili flakes to kick up the spice if you like heat.

Of course, it would be very appropriate to involve some fresh bread rolls or garlic bread to mop up the broth afterwards.
