Warm, comforting Chicken Noodle Soup packed with tender chicken, carrots, celery, and savory herbs in a rich broth. Quick, easy, and perfect for busy weeknights or cozy weekends!
Ingredients
1 tbsp oil (olive or vegetable)
1 yellow onion, diced
3 medium carrots, sliced
3 celery stalks, sliced (include leaves for extra flavor)
3 cloves garlic, minced
8 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp dried oregano
½ tsp dried thyme
2 bay leaves
4 cups egg noodles (uncooked)
Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish
Bread or crackers, for serving (optional)
Instructions
In a large Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 4 minutes until softened.
Stir in garlic and cook another minute until fragrant.
Pour in chicken broth. Add chicken breasts, salt, pepper, oregano, thyme, and bay leaves. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat.
Cover pot with lid slightly askew and cook for about 15 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and shreds easily.
Remove chicken and shred with two forks into bite-sized pieces. Return shredded chicken to the pot.
Bring soup to a low boil. Stir in egg noodles and cook for 6-7 minutes until al dente.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley and bread or crackers on the side.
Notes
Save time by using shredded rotisserie chicken instead of raw chicken breasts.
Swap egg noodles for other small pasta shapes if you prefer.
To avoid soggy noodles in leftovers, cook noodles separately and add them to individual bowls when serving.
Add extra veggies like peas, corn, or spinach for more color and nutrition.
