Easy Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup

Who doesn’t love a good bowl of hot chicken noodle soup with a side of crusty artisan bread? I know our family loves it and not just when we’re feeling under the weather. Learn how we love to make this easy homemade chicken noodle soup classic.

 

A FAMILY CLASSIC

Many families from across the globe have been making chicken soup recipes for generations. It is not only simple to make, with simple ingredients, which are most likely staples already in many homes, BUT the health benefits have made this simple soup a household favorite.

Whether you grew up in the city, like I did, OR you grew up in the country like my husband, you probably have your own fond memories of this simple and classic meal.

 

VARIATIONS

There are so many variations to this simple classic soup.  My grandmother and mother used to make a delicious chicken soup with rice noodles, onions, and fresh tomatoes. I have an old friend who would make the best Thai chicken soup with a kick from the chili paste she would add at the end.

 

Whatever style chicken soup you make, you can’t beat chicken bone broth for the gut-supporting, immune boosting health benefits or the flavor that it adds to any soup/stew recipe!

 

Last summer, we started to attend a church that we were visiting in our local town, pre-Covid.  We were so excited to be able to find a church so close to home that we all could get plugged into and finally start serving our local community!

 

The Lord did not create us to be permanently isolated or alone! He made us to be relational people who thrive and grow with others. With all the fellowship we have been enjoying lately, we have also been catching more of the sniffles and congestion.

Notes

Whenever we have leftover chicken from a whole IP chicken, this is one of my go-to recipes to use up those leftovers.

You can also cook the egg noodles in a separate pot if you wish to drain the pasta liquid out, before adding to the main soup base.

This is one of those classic recipes that you can easily tweak and make your own.

For an Asian spin, add some liquid aminos. It will taste like a wonton soup base.

If you don’t have any egg noodles, you can always add some white rice or barley to give you more options. Cooking times will vary.
