The Easiest Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe
Chicken noodle soup is one of the fondest memories I have of my grandmother’s cooking. Classic, comforting, a cure-all for whatever ailed me, and I could taste my grandma’s love in it.
However, my grandma’s version took hours and hours. I don’t have time to watch a boiling pot for half the day and this version is easy, ready in 30-minutes, and has all the comforting qualities you want in classic chicken noodle soup.
My family loved the homey, classic flavors in the soup, raved about it, and asked when I’m making it again. It makes enough to stash half in the freezer for a rainy day or for winter cold and flu season. Chicken noodle soup is a miracle worker.

How to Make Chicken Noodle Soup
Making homemade chicken noodle soup with egg noodles doesn’t get easier than this! Here’s an overview of how this simple recipe comes together:
- To a large Dutch oven or stockpot, add the oil and heat over medium-high heat to warm.
- Add the carrots, celery, onion, and sauté until the vegetables begin to soften.
- Add the garlic and sauté for another 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add the chicken broth, bay leaves, thyme, oregano, pepper, and bring to a boil. Allow mixture to boil gently for about 5 minutes or until vegetables are fork-tender.
- Add the egg noodles and boil the mixture until the noodles are cooked through.
- Add the chicken, parsley, optional lemon juice and boil until chicken is warmed through.
- Remove the bay leaves and serve immediately!
Recipe FAQs
Egg noodles in chicken noodle soup is the only way to go for me because that’s how my grandma made it, but if you like rotini or another type of pasta, use it instead.
I always use pre-cooked, shredded chicken in my homemade chicken noodle soup. You have a few options when it comes to pre-cooked chicken:
1. You can buy a rotisserie chicken at the store, shred it up, then throw it in the soup (some stores even sell pre-shredded rotisserie chicken which is a huge time saver!).
2. You can meal prep your own stovetop or baked chicken breasts. Either shred or cube the chicken whenever you’re ready to make the soup.
3. Make a batch of poached chicken a day or two in advance to use in the soup.
I prefer using a blend of fresh and dried herbs in my soup for a more nuanced flavor. For this recipe, I used bay leaves, fresh thyme, and dried oregano. However, you can easily adapt the recipe using whatever herbs you have on hand!
The squeeze of lemon juice does NOT make the soup taste even remotely lemony. Instead, it brightens up the rich flavors of the soup and makes the recipe “pop” overall. If you don’t have a fresh lemon on hand, use apple cider vinegar to achieve the same result.
We love serving this easy homemade soup with bread rolls (try Parker House Rolls or No-Knead Dinner Rolls), Skillet Cornbread, or a Classic House Salad.
Tips for the Best Chicken Noodle Soup
Chicken: To save time, make this chicken noodle soup with rotisserie chicken or leftover chicken that you have on hand. Of course you can roast or pan sauté chicken if you’re so inclined.
Herbs: There are quite a few herbs used including thyme, oregano, bay leaves, and parsley. If you don’t have them all on hand, don’t want to buy a bunch of thyme for just 1 teaspoon, or aren’t fond of a particular herb, you can probably omit it. Your soup won’t taste exactly like mine, but it’ll be close.
Salt: Make sure to salt your soup to taste. I use low-sodium chicken broth and add a bit of salt to my soup so I can control the overall salt level. The saltiness of low-sodium broth varies among brands, and if you used a rotisserie chicken, salt levels vary. And everyone’s personal preference for salt varies so salt to taste.

Easy 30-Minute Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup
Classic, comforting, and tastes just like grandma made but way easier and faster!! This soup is AMAZING and it'll be your new favorite recipe!!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup carrots, peeled and sliced thin (about 1 1/2 large carrots)
- 1 cup celery, sliced thin (about 2 stalks)
- 1 cup sweet Vidalia or yellow onion, peeled and diced small (about 1 medium onion)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 64 ounces (8 cups) low-sodium chicken broth, plus more if desired
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon pepper, or to taste
- 12 ounces wide egg noodles (or your favorite noodles or pasta)
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (use storebought rotisserie chicken to save time; or roast or cook your own chicken in a skillet)
- 3 to 4 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice, optional
- salt, to taste
Instructions
- To a large Dutch oven or stockpot, add the oil and heat over medium-high heat to warm.
- Add the carrots, celery, onion, and sauté for about 7 minutes, or until vegetables begin to soften. Stir intermittently.
Add the garlic and sauté for another 1 to 2 minutes. - Add the chicken broth, bay leaves, thyme, oregano, pepper, and bring to a boil. Allow mixture to boil gently for about 5 minutes or until vegetables are fork-tender. Note – If you like brothier soup, add additional broth, possibly as much as an additional 64 ounces because as time passes the noodles will continue to absorb broth.
- Add the egg noodles and boil mixture for about 10 minutes, or until noodles are soft and cooked through. At any time while making the soup, if the overall liquid level is lower than you like and you prefer more broth, adding a cup or two of water is okay. At the end you will adjust the salt level.
- Add the chicken, parsley, optional lemon juice (brightens up the flavor), and boil 1 to 2 minutes, or until chicken is warmed through. Taste soup and add salt to taste. I added about 1 tablespoon but this will vary based on how salty the brand of chicken broth used is, how salty the rotisserie chicken is, and personal preference. Make any necessary seasoning adjustments (i.e. more salt, pepper, herbs, etc.), remove the bay leaves, and serve immediately.
Notes
Soup will keep airtight in the fridge for 5 to 7 days or in the freezer for up to 6 months.

I used your poached chicken recipe and this soup is luscious. The broth was delicious. I added a little more to it and it is so good. I’ll make biscuits (Bisquick) to go with the soup. Can’t wait for dinner! Thanks, Averie.
Thanks for the 5 star review and I am glad the Poached Chicken recipe worked great for the soup and with the biscuits, your meal sounds fabulous!
This recipe is so delicious even my 3 year old grandson loved it (& heās fussy). Ā And my husband and I also loved it!! thank youĀ
Thanks for the 5 star review and Iām glad that even the picky little guy loved it!
Made this last week and it was awesome! Ā Served to company, with cooked bowls of rice and orzo, to add as desired. Ā Used a Costco rotissiere chicken, which right now, is cheaper than anything else!! Ā Will definitely make again, as it was the easiest and best chicken soup, I’ve ever made!Thank you for the recipe and Happy 2023!!
Thanks for the 5 star review and Iām glad this was awesome! Good tip on the Costco rotisserie chicken, I know even those have gotten more expensive as has everything lately. Happy 2023!!
Best chicken soup ever. Amazing how something so simple can have so much flavor. No flares, just pure goodness. Love it!
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad that it’s the best chicken noodle soup ever for you!
I made this for my husband who has been sick with a cold. We both loved it! I added extra chicken stock as the noodles soaked up a lot of the liquid. This will definitely be our go-to chicken soup recipe.
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad that this will be your go-to chicken soup recipe! Also I hope that he’s on the mend!
My family gobbled this up! No leftovers. I reduced the pasta to about 8 ounces, and though my sister thought it was too peppery (I used a full teaspoon) everyone else loved it! Iām definitely bookmarking this recipe. Thank you for the quick and easy meal!
Thanks for the five star review with no leftovers! Always adjust the seasonings to everyone’s personal taste, but that’s an easy thing to tweak.
One of the best chicken soups I have ever made. Ā Used the Roasted Chicken Better Than Bouillon which was fantastic! Ā Like others, I gotta try your other recipes.
Thanks for the 5 star review and I am glad that itās one of the best chicken soups you’ve ever made!
Great recipe! Thanks!
You’re welcome and glad it was great!
This is my go-to “miracle” soup when anyone is sick. The only thing I added was a bit of ginger (very restorative) and a sprinkle of turmeric while cooking because it brightens the color of the soup, particularly when using stock instead of broth. Fabulous recipe.
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad you love this soup! Ginger and turmeric are both great additions!
LOVE this chicken soup! So easy, so delicious. Can’t wait to try your other recipes. Merci beaucoup!
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad this was easy and delish for you!
Very good! My boyfriend and I enjoyed thoroughly. Very savory.
Thanks for the 5 star review and I am glad you both enjoyed it thoroughly!
I live this recipe! So delicious and comforting. The lemon juice really does make it extra yummy.Ā
Thanks for the 5 star review and Iām glad it was delicious and comforting and you enjoyed the lemon juice!
Hi, I would like to try this soup for my son. Can i substitute chicken broth with water. What ratio shall i follow. Thanks!
I wouldn’t use water. Use vegetable broth if you don’t want to use chicken broth.
I’m one of those people who would rather spend an hour in the kitchen than go outside. That’s why I love this recipe. It’s easy, it’s cheap, and my family loves it!
Yum, yum, yum! Perfect recipe for our New Zealand winter.Ā
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad this was perfect for you!
This is by far my favorite chicken noodle soup recipe ever! It’s so delicious and so easy to make! Thank you!
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad this is by far your fave chicken noodle soup recipe!
This is a great quick and yummy soup! My only issue was it was too much pasta and it soaked up all the broth. I ended up having to add almost 4 cartons! Next time ill cut it in half and cook it separately til its almost done then add it in.
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad it was quick and yummy!
Yes, noodles especially egg noodles, can soak up a lot of broth. One tip like you mentioned to combat that is to boil the noodles separately, or halve the amount, or add extra broth, too.
I Used Your Idea And I Wanna Say Thanks It Worked
This is so good. I use the Reames frozen noodles and the soup tastes homemade. I always add a couple teaspoons of better than bouillon to the low sodium broth. So good with Rhodes rolls.Ā
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad this was so good!
Wow, this was my first time making homemade chicken noodle soup! It turned out amazing! My hubby and I have been sick oft and on for the last month…I feel like this soup was a miracle remedy to calm and quieten a cough! Thank you!
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad and glad this calmed your cough!
This was easy to make and Ā absolutely amazing. We had 2nds. I definitely had to add more chicken broth. Ā I added a total of 48 oz more. Ā Great recipe. Thank you for sharing it.
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad this was amazing for you!
I used a bag of frozen mirepoix, which cut down on prep time.
I expected the soup to be less flavorful because I used 4 cups of water with my last 4 cups of frozen broth from a very popular online roasted butter chicken recipe. But it was amazing! I think the butter from the broth added flavorful fats to the soup. Highly recommend.
Glad that this was a winner for you and you were able to take advantage of what you had on hand to save time and add flavor.
This soup was absolutely delicious! I made it exactly as directed, but ended up adding an extra 2 cups of broth as the noodles had cooked and absorbed quite a bit of liquid. My whole family loved this on this cold evening! Thank you so much for this keeper!
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad you loved the soup! Yes it’s common for noodles to do that but easy to solve with more broth like you did.
I think this soup is excellent, loved it! I really enjoyed the seasoning but only used half the pepper and found that to be enough. I also only used 8 oz. of noodles. I had a couple containers of frozen bone broth that I had made from a couple of rotisserie chickens so I used those, also enough left over chicken. I added 4 cups of water and some Better Than Bullion to taste, it was wonderful. Had to use dry parsley since mine recently died and forgot to add the lemon. Can’t wait to taste it with fresh parsley and lemon but it was still amazing. Thank you for such a flavorful chicken noodle soup!
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad this was wonderful for you!
I wanted to thank you for sharing such a delicious recipe after cooking this yummy soup twice and receiving high praise from my family each time. It’s so easy, tasty and satisfying! My 11 year son is begging me to make more so that I can freeze it for later meals.Thank you!Vince (aka Dad who thought he couldn’t cook)
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad your family is loving this. And that you are learning to cook more!
great recipe! easy and really, really good ! will make again for sure.
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad this was great and you’ll make it again!
I make this recipe at least 20 times. Each time I get so many compliments. I sent several people this recipe. It is the best chicken noodle soup I have ever made.Ā
That’s great you have made it so many times and that it’s the best you have ever made!
I’ve been making chicken soup from rotisserie chicken for years – using the carcass to make the stock, the meat for soup, chicken salad, and stuffed crescents. I get a lot out of each chicken! I was looking for a faster soup and came across this recipe. I made one change…I added two teaspoons of Better than Boullion (chicken) and two cups of water. Oh my! It’s easy, fast, and better than my made from scratch.
Thanks for the 5 star review and I am glad you found a way to streamline your process with my recipe and that it turns out better in the end!
Made this recipe and LOVED it. Served at a company pot luck and there was nothing left. **I cut the amount of egg noodles down. 12 oz is too much pasta for 64 oz of broth. I used 1/2 of the bag of egg noodles and it was the perfect amount of noodles/broth. You may have to add water if the pasta begins to absorb all of your broth.
Great to hear that this was a hit at your company potluck!
This was my first time making chicken noodle soup. It was very bland then I found out I needed to add more salt
Thanks for the 5 star review and yes, soup needs quite a bit of salt to taste good and like it should.
I make it pretty much how you do. Iāll have to try cooking veggies before adding them to the pot. I just toss everything in. I am impatiently waiting for it to be done so I can add in the egg noodles.Ā
I saute them first to soften them up a bit and give them a bit of caramelized flavor before moving on. Definitely worth it for me. Hope you love the soup!
Soooo yummy and tastes like it has been cooked for hours because of all of the flavor. I personally prefer smaller noodles, like ditalini, for myself and my kids! We find the bigger noodles overtake the soupĀ
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad that you got flavor that tasted like it had been cooked for hours! Good job using the noodles your family likes, too. That’s the most important!
I absolutely love this recipe. I do find it heavy on the noodles so I do extra veggies. Make sure you wait until the end to add the salt a little at a time so you don’t over do it. I love the lemon flavor so I add alot more than it calls for.
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad that you love this recipe and customize it for your preferences!
Oh, that was Sooooooo goood! I can’t wait till tomorrow to have another bowl! I have never ever made homemade chicken noodle soup, and this one happened to fill the bill for what I had always envisioned what it should be.
Thanks for the 5 star review and I am glad to hear you’re excited to have another bowl and that this fits the bill for you!
This was so yummy! My pregnant daughter can’t keep much down but loved this. Doubled the recipe so she can eat it the rest of the week. The whole family enjoyed it!
Thanks for the 5 star review and I am so glad to hear this is helping your daughter and she can keep it down. I had a horrific pregnancy and couldn’t keep anything down for months so I totally feel for her. Glad the rest of your family enjoyed this too!
Amazing flavour, I’m glad I chose this recipe after searching through many, it was just what I needed on a day that I’m feeling under the weather. Thanks so much!
Thanks for the 5 star review and I am glad it was amazing for you! Hope you’re feeling better.
I have some cartons of vegetable broth to use up – can I sub. those for the chicken broth? Maybe add in some extra broth made with Tone chicken paste & water for some chicken flavor? And is there a way to cook some boneless skinless chicken breasts in water to cook them? Thanks!!
Yes you can do all those subs. Just Google how to poach chicken and do that. Or poach them in the broth before adding the noodles.
I’ve never left a recipe review before, but this has just become such a staple in my house! I don’t know what it is, but this soup is incredible. It has such depth of flavor for a 30-min soup. My kids devour it, and I’ve shared it with so many people who love it now, too. Outstanding!
Thanks for the 5 star review and for taking the time to leave a review and comment! Glad that this has become a staple for your family and that you’ve shared the recipe with others, too!
Easy, fast & absolutely deliciousĀ
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad it was fast, easy, and delish!
I left out Thyme, basil and added cream of chicken with herbs soup and extra water after the noodles cooked! Itās AMAZING!!Ā
Thank you for the 5 star review and glad that it was amazing!
My family loves this recipe!
Thank you for the 5 star review and glad that your family loves my recipe!
Could I use frozen noodles in this recipe?
I really don’t know. I have only used dry, shelf-stable traditional pasta noodles you can buy in any supermarket.
I use frozen Reams noodles and it is AMAZING!!
I also used frozen Reames and they held their texture beautifully!
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad this was great for you!
Best chicken noodle soup Iāve ever had. Have made twice now, will make again and again!
Thank you for the 5 star review and glad that it’s the best ever!
Iāve made this wonderful recipe a number of times now. Ā The cool, rainy NH weather this summer called out for this soup. Ā Although I stay true to the ingredients and instructions, since I had the time I boiled the rotisserie chicken bones in the chicken stock for about an hour before finishing. Ā Over the top good. Ā Thank you, Averie, for another go to recipe.
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad this has come in handy for you this summer with cool rainy weather. Your boiling-in trick sounds great, bet the flavor is over the top good as you said!
I have made this recipe multiple times, my family includes me (doing weight watchers) my seriously ill husband who has an impaired appetite who hates chicken noodle soup and a notoriously picky 5 year old who loathes vegetables when they are cooked.Not once has the pot made it through to becoming leftovers. I’ve messed with the recipe loads due to not having this thing or that thing at the time and it still turns out heavenly. I have used chicken breast and added a spoonful of butter to provide the fats that the dark meat usually would. I’ve used powdered garlic. I’ve missed out the celery or the carrots so many times and used just about every variation of pasta you can think of. It is so forgiving. Thank you.
Thanks for the 5 star review and I am glad you and your family loves this recipe and yes, as you said, it’s so forgiving too based on what you do or don’t have on hand!
This is my go to chicken noodle soup recipe and Iāve made it at least 20 times now. I love how easy it is to pull together. I make a few changes to the recipe:-I double it so I can use a whole rotisserie chicken-I use a stick of butter instead of olive oilĀ -I use 5 qts of broth and throw one veggie in- I use 4 bouillon cubes instead of adding saltIām obviously not a health nut, but darn is this soup good! Ā
Thanks for the 5 star review and I am glad to hear that you’ve made this a ton and it’s your go-to chicken noodle soup recipe!
Can you give me a estimated calories per serving? How many servings does this make?Ā
Bottom of recipe card, it’s all listed.
delish!
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad it was delish!
My husband has to eat low sodium so I cook chicken breasts without adding salt, shred the chicken and store in quart bags in the freezer. Ā I used that in the soup and followed the recipe, omitting the salt (I did use low sodium stock I keep on hand) and my husband loved it. Ā It was very tasty even without the salt. Ā I did add a little more onion than the recipe called for so he wouldnāt miss the salt. Ā It was delicious.
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad you both loved the soup, even without the salt!
I loved this recipe! The only thing I did different was I cooked the chicken in a wok first. It added a nice flavor. I also added some cilantro.
My family REALLY enjoyed this soup on the first snowy day in Montana (early September)! CATION…Once you add the noodles ,simmer for 10 minutes and add the chicken & parsley, SERVE ASAP!!! I made the mistake of adding the noodles and simmering for about 30 minutes (or so).The noodles DO absorb ALL the broth!!;~0…Serve with fresh, warm French bread & butter…YUM!!
Glad you enjoyed the recipe and yes pasta noodles, by design, will continue to absorb long after they are theoretically ‘done’. Glad your family enjoyed this on a snowy day! It was literally 100F today where I am and getting under 80F would be refreshing!
It’s super delish.I substituted corn for celery as it’s what I had on hand. It turned out great! Got a 5star review from my 5yr old nephew and my 14month old daughter also loved it.Great, easy and comforting!
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad it turned out super delish for you and that the kids loved it!
So easy and very tasty! I will definitely make this again and am looking forward to trying some of your other soups.
It’s so beautiful and delicious. I will cook tomorrow. Will keep watch for your future posts. Thank you!
My kids hate soup. I think itās a texture thing, but they canāt get enough of this recipe. Ā We all love it! Thank you.Ā
Thanks for the five star review and Iām glad your kids now love this soup! Even during the summer!
We absolutely LOVE this soup! I’m wondering though if anyone has subbed the noodles for wild rice to change it up?
Thanks for the 5 star review and Iām glad you love this soup!
I have a version that uses farro https://www.averiecooks.com/easy-30-minute-chicken-vegetable-soup/ and I’m sure that rice would be just fine.
Was craving soup and this recipe was spot on! Ā Used frozen veggies and canned chicken and it with all of the herbs and spices it was delicious!
I am glad it turned out delicious for you!
Was just looking for an easy way to use leftover rotisserie chicken, and would have been happy with a decent, average soup. This was way beyond my expectations. Ā Absolutely delicious and we changed dinner plans so that we could eat this instead!Ā
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad that this soup was way beyond your expectations and that you even changed your dinner plans so you could enjoy it!
This soup is absolutely delicious! Ā The only thing we added was a pinch of red pepper flakes. Ā We like it spicy! Ā
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad it was delicious and I am with you, love spicy food and pepper flakes are the way to go!
This was great! I did add a dash of poultry seasoning out of habit, but it would have been just as good without.
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad it was great!
My husband loves this soup! Ā Ā I used 3-4 cups of chicken, extra carrots and celery. Ā Wound up with twice as much soup. Ā Itās easy and delish!
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad that your husband loves it and that you were able to make a bigger batch!
My husband said this should be canned and sold it was so good! It did turn out amazing! I changed a couple things including: I used 16oz of orzo, doubled the broth (might even add another 32oz to make it more soupy next time as it was thick and hearty with double the broth, used a whole rotisserie chicken shredded up into little bits, and used fine ground white pepper instead of black to give it a more mellow flavor. Perfecto! <3
I’m glad to hear it was such a hit that he thinks it should be sold, what a nice compliment! White pepper is a great touch if you have it on hand, good thinking!
The recipe was very easy to make, and overall it was good. I think the recipe calls for too much pepper. I know it specified “to taste”. But the suggestion was 1tsp. I thought the pepper overpowered the soup. I’ll try again with 1/2 the pepper and see how that goes.
Yes “to taste” means to your taste which is why I wrote that since salt and pepper are very personal. In any recipe, always start with a pinch, especially if you think you’re sensitive to that particular flavor, spice, etc. and work up.
Had to give a follow up – overnight the orzo expanded to like 100 times (slight exaggeration) its original size so this became more of a pasta dish in the end haha. Going to try it again but with like 1/3 of the orzo :)
This was better than what you would get in a restaurant! Great flavor!
This was my first time making chicken noodle soup. It was very bland then I found out I needed to add more salt. After that was done and the flavor was brought out… It was amazing. I can’t believe I was eating the can stuff before this. I made enough to freeze in my mason jars. Yummy.
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad that you realized that the salt really brings things to life and great that you don’t need canned soup anymore!
So easy and very tasty! I will definitely make this again and am looking forward to trying some of your other soups.
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad you will make it again!
This is the best fall back receipt that I have found anywhere! It is a main stay at our home. Family and friends think I spent hours preparing this soup when in reality in an hour your are sitting down eating a great soup that is full of flavor, that seconds and thirds are a must.
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad this is the best fall back recipe you’ve found anywhere! And I agree, it tastes like you spent hours on it but in reality, nope!
I loved it. I boiled a chicken a few days ago and I had homemade broth (always better than from the store) and my shredded chicken I had in the freezer. I had thyme and parsley from the garden, and prefer marjoram to oregano so that’s the only substitution I made. You’re right about the lemon. I had a fresh one on hand! It really was excellent. Filling and satifying but not real heavy. I’m glad I tried it.
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad this was a winner!
Just made this soup and it’s veey good! Even got my toddler’s approval!
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad this even got your toddler’s approval!
Made it for the first time, it was so taste.

Great to hear that!
Delicious, simple but very tasty!
Thanks for the five star review and Iām glad that it was delicious!
Great taste
Thanks!
I’m making this with my daughters Avarie and Violet tonight!
I love their names! Hope you all enjoy the soup!
Sooo flavorful!! Definitely keeping this to make again in the future! I added about 1/4 of heavy cream just to give it the tiniest bit of thickness. Came out awesome!
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad it was awesome!
I do have a creamy version too https://www.averiecooks.com/easy-30-minute-creamy-chicken-noodle-soup/
Really yummy! I have never made chicken noodle soup before, but I wanted to make something warm and comforting for a friend who is a front-line worker and who became sick with Covid 19 while helping others. i found this recipe online. it was quick and easy to make and made quite a bit. I did end up adding another 32 oz of broth, but made the recipe as is otherwise. My family enjoyed it with some homemade drop biscuits. I hope it brings some comfort to my friend too.
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad it turned out great! How lovely of you to make this for your friend in their time of need. I hope they make a full and fast recovery!
Wonderful soup! I did add some vegetable seasoning and a bay leaf for more favor.
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad it turned out wonderfully!
This is my new go-to soup recipe itās quick and so DELICIOUS! My whole family loves it! Thanks for sharing. I only made one change- I used no yolks stir fry noodles Instead of the regular egg noodles (they are amazing!)Ā
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad it’s your new go-to soup recipe!
We make this so often that Iāve already memorized the ingredient list! So delicious! We use a whole box of pasta (I hate leaving a little in the pantry. It just gets thrown out), so I also add another 32oz of chicken broth. Perfect every time!
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad this is on standby and you’ve memorized the ingredients!
Averie, fast and delicious.And easy for working people.Im going to try some of your other soups.Ive made this recipe several times.its a winner
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad that this is a winner for you! Hope you can try more soups, too!
Made this soup recently exactly as written. Super yummy and super easy. Definitely a keeper!
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad it turned out super yummy and easy and is a keeper!
Just made this today – first time making chicken noodle soup from scratch and not a can! š Itās so delicious!!! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad this is your first time making scratch soup and that it turned out delicious!
Can I use a slow cooker?
Possibly but for a recipe that’s ready in 30 minutes, I would just make it on the stovetop.
made this soup this evening and it was truly delicious! I thought the lemon juice was a nice touch. Yes…. I did tweak therecipe a bit…ā¦. I used 14 cups of chicken broth that I made with Better than Bouillon roasted chicken flavor, doubled the chicken and added 3/4 of a can of cream of chicken soup. I followed all other directions! thanks for the lovely recipe!
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad you were able to tweak the recipe to make it work best for your needs and it all worked out for you.
Made it tonight for my family and it was a success! It definitely came out as more of a stew than a soup, so I would recommend adding two more cups of broth.
Glad you enjoyed it and yes add broth to taste as necessary.
PERFECT!! Tastes like chicken soup that took HOURS to cook! BTW – I added 1/4 teaspoon ground thyme, in the absence of fresh or dried. And, I only added half the noodles, with an additional cup or two of broth. OUTSTANDING!!
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad this was perfect with half the noodles, additional broth, and a bit of ground thyme!
I love this recipe and make it often. Wondering how it freezes? I would like to deliver some to an elderly couple to be frozen in this time of uncertainty with the COVID19 virus.Thank you.
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad you make it often! I have heard from others that it freezes very well. I have not personally frozen it but what a nice gesture you’re thinking of the elderly now.
I have made this recipe many times before, and it freezes well and holds itās flavor. The egg noddles do soften after freezing and re heating but not to a degree that it is unpalatable.
Thanks for the 5 star review and thanks for sharing your experience with how it freezes/thaws and tastes!
A good chicken soup has eluded me years, but no more…this is the keeper. Suggest doubling the recipe if you have 4 or more people, recipe as-is makes about 9 servings. I reduced the black pepper measurement to 3/4 tsp and this was still a bit much even for the avid black pepper fans of the household. Recommend reducing black pepper further to 1/2 tsp and then add more if needed at the end. The egg noodles makes the soup heartier and holds the herbs better. For the gluten free crowd, break up GF spaghetti (or add rice) as a substitute. I used 4 skinless chicken thighs, cooked them in the soup pot while I was chopping up the celery, onion, garlic, parsley and de-stemming the thyme.
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad my recipe is a keeper for you!
Delicious and wasy
Awesome, thanks!
Great recipe! Loved the flavor! As experience tells me, I cooked the noodles separately in broth. I did not drain. The noodles soaked it all up. If I would have added them to the soup, there wouldn’t be any broth left. I used bone broth. It was very good and easy, but also took longer than 30 minutes with washing and chopping.
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad you loved the flavor!
Regarding the noodles soaking up broth, yes, that’s why I do mention that at any time should you need to add more broth, do it. Some noodles aren’t as spongey and don’t soak up as much as others. I find it varies from brand to brand but glad you followed your intuition.
This recipe makes a delicious soup. I added heavy cream to the soup after adding the chicken back into it. Very nice.
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad it turned out delicious for you!
I posted a comment back in November of 2018 and I am still making this. I just wanted to let you know that a few weeks ago I was out of noodles so I added a cup and a half of rice and it was amazing. The rice absorbed all of the liquid and all of the flavor. My family has requested that I make it this was as well as soup. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad you’ve been making it since 2018 and great to hear that the rice you added worked great!
We agree with 5 star rating. Iām home with flu and this soup hit the spot. Thanks so much.
This is the best chicken noodle soup I have ever made
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad this is the best chicken noodle soup you’ve ever made!
This soup was so easy to make and very hearty. I used a rotisserie chicken and added mushrooms and chopped cabbage. I used egg noodles too, however I boiled them too long and they were a bit mushy but didn’t change the flavour of this yummy soup. Next time I won’t boil as long.
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad it was easy and hearty!
Nice recipe but can only taste the thyme and oregano need to cut them in half other than that taste great.
We all have different taste buds so season to taste is always my advice. Glad it tasted great overall.
Iāve made chicken noodle soup plenty of times and this is by far the best recipe. My honey was sick with the flu and this is the only soup he could stomach. Thanks for publishing this recipe. A sure keeper.
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad this is your favorite chicken noodle soup recipe by far!
I was looking into easy foods i can make that would be good for a week and healthy. I’m not at all a soup person. I looked into this recipe and made it and I loved it! Now i have lunch for the week + (noodles were on sale lol so i stocked up) Thank You!
Glad you loved it and have leftovers/lunches for the week!
This was the best and easiest recipe that I have tried in a long time! I had a house full of sick kids including myself and this was both nourishing and delish. I used a rotisserie chicken from the super market and was easily able to put this together in no time. My niece tried it and loved it – she suggested that I use a frozen noodle next time and I just might give that a try. This recipe saved the day.
Glad this was the best and easiest recipe you’ve tried in a long time and that your family loved it and that the recipe saved the day!
Very good! My husband & I luv it!Will make it again!Thank You Averie!
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad you both love it and will make it again!
I used leftover chicken from the previous nights supper and had to substitute savoury for thyme. It turned out really well and had a nice spicy kick. Perfect for our colds! Thank you for the delicious recipe!
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad it worked well with your leftover chicken and turned out delicious!
Turned out delicious! We ended up making a lot and Iām wondering if this can be frozen? If yes what do you suggest storing it in? Thanks so much!
Glad it turned out deliciously and that you have enough to freeze!
I have heard people storing it with the noodles separate from the rest but I have never done that. They do absorb broth as time passes but I think that’s more in the fridge than the freezer. I wouldnt worry too much about it if yours are already all together.
I freeze things like this in individual-sized Gladware containers because otherwise it’s a pain when thawing. Or maybe if you have a “family sized” plastic container, that’s fine too, but I wouldn’t just freeze it in one huge container because later on it’s a royal pain. Don’t fill any containers too full. The liquid expands slightly in the freezer.
This recipe was a lifesaver today – husband has flu and loves chicken soup. Taste is delicious. Next time, I’ll use fewer noodles, more carrots. I used much more broth this time and also more meat. the lemon juice is a must.
Glad this was a lifesaver today for you and I agree the lemon juice is a must. Great to hear you will tweak it to suit your preferences for next time.
Made this when I was sick. It was very helpful. Delicious Recipe!! Loved it!!
Thanks for the 5 star review and I am glad this was helpful and delicious!
I made chicken noodle.soup for the first time!I was amazed at how well it turned out.My boyfriend loved it!I served it with garlic breadThank you for such an easy to follow recipe!
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad it turned out great and that your BF loved it too!
This was very good! Didn’t have fresh thyme or a bay leaf, but did have the other spices. Made it more brothy by using some water and boullion. Used a rotisserie chicken and got it right when they put it out at 4:00pm so it hadn’t spent hours drying out and was very moist. Nothing can ruin chicken soup more than dried out chicken. I also took the additional step of cooking the noodles separately and adding them to the individual bowls, and then storing them separately too so they don’t get soggy from absorbing all the broth. Yummy!
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad this turned out very good for you! Bravo for taking the extra steps with the noodles (I never even do that)!
Honestly- best chicken noodle soup Iāve ever had! I used fresh oregano instead of dried, added 3c more broth and used frozen noodles instead of dried. You will not be disappointed and donāt skip the lemon juice!
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad it’s the best chicken noodle soup you’ve ever had! I agree not to skip the lemon juice.
The recipe calls for 12oz egg noodles. I ended up with noodle soup!!!Loved the recipe otherwise. Phenomenal flavour, loved the lemon in it (especially since made it for flu recovery) and used the rotisserie chicken to make super fast.I will definitely share and make this again and again but will only use half the amount of noodles! LOL!!Thank you!
Glad you loved the soup and it had phenomenal flavor!
In step 4 I clearly mention: “Note ā If you like brothier soup, add additional broth, possibly as much as an additional 64 ounces because as time passes the noodles will continue to absorb broth.”
This soup is sooooo amazing!! My family loved it!!
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad your family loved it and it was so amazing!
The best homemade chicken soup I’ve made! And I’ve tried quite a few different recipes. I will definitely be making it again, quick and easy.
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad this was the best homemade chicken soup you’ve ever made and glad you’ll be making it again!
Have you tried this soup in an instant pot or crock pot? I love this soup so much and it is a family favorite that I would love to be able to make on the go also!!
No I haven’t because it really doesn’t get any faster than 30 minutes or more convenient for me personally than doing it on the stove but of course you can always experiment to see if you can make it faster/easier for you in an instant/crock pot.
How well does this soup reheat?
Thanks
Extremely well in my experience.
I’m making this now. I only had frozen chicken to use, so I am slow cooking it to add at the end. I needed more broth to balance out the 1 lbs package of Amish egg noodles in it. My honey has a stomach bug and I believe it will knock out his bad symptoms! So grateful for this recipe!
Thanks for the five star review and I hope this does the trick and it gets your loved one on the mend!
Made this recipe last night and loved it! The lemon juice was optional but I definitely recommend it as it really does add to the flavor.
Thanks for the five star review and Iām glad you loved it! I agree with the lemon juice, it really adds to the overall flavor!
Do you use fresh or dried bay leaf? Thanks!
Dried but I’m sure you could use fresh.
DELICIOUS recipe. followed it to the “T” and it is amazing!! Can’t wait for the family to taste. Thank you what a great, easy meal. AND I use a store bought roasted chicken, was plenty big, just used the breast meat. SO HAPPY!!!!
Thanks for the five star review and Iām glad this was a huge hit!
Classic, easy, comforting, delicious. Thanks for this recipe. Easy to tweak, but it stands on its own. Planning to make this for fellow teachers for lunch, and anticipating going home empty handed. :)Thanks again!
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad that this was all of this for you: Classic, easy, comforting, delicious!
That was my goal and glad it hit all those marks and you’re going to make this for your teacher colleagues, how nice of you!
Love your turkey noodle soup. When looking for the calories it says over 900 calories for 1 serving size! I’m sure this must be an error. There are 6 servings, so I think this would he for all six? I put more broth in mine as it was more like stew than soup. Quick and tasty though!
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad you love the soup! The stats are computer-generated and take into account so many different factors and clearly not always accurate. If you want more accurate stats, doing it manually given the exact ingredients you’re using is the best way.
This was delicious! The lemon juice really did make a difference! I added more veggies and a little less on the noodles because I only had 64 oz of low sodium broth! I will definitely make this again! Thank you Soo much for this recipe! It was perfect for a snowy night in Chicago! I served it with Pillsbury French bread loaf that you bake in the oven! Comfort food at its best!
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad this was perfect for your snowy night in Chicago (lived there once upon a time 20 years ago…. BRRR!) Stay warm and glad you enjoyed the lemon juice addition as I do too!
It was overall delicious. I changed a few things based on what I had. I used leftover turkey rather than chicken, and since I didn’t have oregano so I used marjoram. The flavor was amazing.
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad it was amazing! I have this exact same recipe but with turkey and it’s equally good, which sounds like pretty much what you made :) https://www.averiecooks.com/easy-30-minute-turkey-noodle-soup/
Amazing!!!!!! My whole family loved it and we have some picky eaters. This recipe was easy and Iāll make this again.
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad this was approved by the picky eaters and you’ll make it again!
Thank you so much Averie for this awesome chicken noodle soup recipe! Wow! My entire family LOVES it! We followed the recipe exactly as is and added extra salt, black pepper, and Badia Complete Seasoning to taste at the end. Thank you again for sharing this scrumptious recipe! It is now a staple recipe in my family.
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad your family loves it and it’ll be a staple!
This was a freaking hit in our house! It was so good we didnāt have any leftovers. I should mention no one in the house ālikes soupā. Thank you for the fantastic recipe! It has been added to my menu ;)
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad this was a big hit at your house, despite no one ‘liking soup’ :)
AVERIE, thanks! Very tasty soup turned out. Very cool photos!
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad it turned out great!
I made this for my Family and it is now for sure all of our FAVORITE HOMEMADE CHICKEN SOUP recipies! So yummy & comforting! Will definately be my go to Chicken Soup recipe from now on!
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad this is your favorite homemade chicken soup and it’s your go-to!
This soup is deeelicious! I used chicken bone broth and added a splash of vinegar at the end because I forgot to buy a lemon. Iāve always thought I was making great soup, but this is even better than whatever Iāve made in the past.
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad that it’s even better than what you’ve been making in the past!
My first time making chicken noodle soup…. it was very simple although took longer than 30 minutes but worth it in the end…. was totally delicious with a few edits on the seasoning…. bookmarking for future use :) thanks!!
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad that it was totally delicious on your first time making chicken noodle soup!
This is delicious. I shared it with my parents as well and they love it because it is easy to make and delicious. It really has wonderful flavor and spice.
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad your parents love it as well!
Best homey Chicken Noodle Soup Ever!Fast..easy…delicious!
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad it’s the best homey chicken noodle soup ever for you!
Good recipe, however I would double the amount of carrots and I added extra chicken and broth as the liquid was quite low.
Glad you enjoyed the soup overall.
Regarding the broth, that’s why I very clearly say in step 4 what I state: Note ā If you like brothier soup, add additional broth, possibly as much as an additional 64 ounces because as time passes the noodles will continue to absorb broth.
Made this for my sick husband! definitely added probably 4 more cups of chicken stock..delicious!!!!!
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad to hear it was delicious! Hope your husband is feeling better!
Where are you getting the “creamy” from? I don’t see cream/half and half or anything that would make it creamy?
You’re probably commenting on the wrong post.
I have a creamy chicken noodle soup recipe here https://www.averiecooks.com/easy-30-minute-creamy-chicken-noodle-soup/
Excellent recipe I added my own twist to it thanks
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad it was excellent with your own twist.
Easy to make and I had all the ingredients after Thanksgiving dinner (replaced chicken with turkey). I got lots of compliments on this soup from kids and adults alike.
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad it was enjoyed by all!
I have another recipe nearly identical to this one with turkey https://www.averiecooks.com/easy-30-minute-turkey-noodle-soup/
Delicious! My family loved it. The soup was a perfect meal and comforted my boys sore throat. Thank you, for sharing.
Thanks for the 5 star review and Iām glad your family loved it and that it comforted the little ones!
Very flavorful. Thank you for the recipe.I added fresh mint at the time I added the chicken.Will be making over and over again.
Thanks for the 5 star review and Iām glad you will make it over and over again!
Best soup I’ve ever made! No matter who I make this for it easily becomes one of their favourites! I’m a college student so to save money I normally substitute the fresh herbs with dried(you only measure 1/3 of the given fresh herb measurement when converting to dried). Theres so much flavour that even when I’m out of a few ingredients it’s still better then any other soup!
Thanks for the five star review and Iām glad this is the best soup you’ve ever made!
I have made this soup many times. Simple and delicious. I do add some “Better than Boullion” for additional flavor. My husband also likes frozen Reames Homestyle Egg Noodles. I keep them separate from the soup so the noodles don’t get soggy.
Thanks for the five star review!
My only complaint is having to buy more broth since the noodles soak it all up after a day in the fridge! But WOW, the flavor in those noodles the day after is AWESOME!Definitely my go-to chicken noodle soup recipe. I use a traditional rotisserie chicken. Seriously so easy. YUM!
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad to hear you love the soup and it’s your go-to recipe! I agree, those broth-laden noodles are scrumptious!
Great recipe, I used rotisserie chicken and it turned out awesome. The Family raved about it, especially now that itās cold outside. A nice heartwarming and hearty soup.
Thanks for the five star review and Iām glad that your family raved about it!
delicious! i substituted half the amount of olive oil with butter and it was delicious. hearty and delicious, definitely comforting. thank you!
Thanks for the five star review and Iām glad that it was delicious and comforting for you!
I would have added more broth and less noodles but overall this recipe was delicious!!!!
Glad it was delicious!
The soup was good, but too much pepper for our taste. Also, I added alot of extra liquid and didn’t use all of the noodles and was still too many noodles. I would also prefer more carrots and celery as well. I will make this again, with a few adjustments.
I made this today. I added some bouillon to add more flavor. Personal preference. I did not add any additional salt. I also will be adding more broth as the noodles do soak up the liquid. I cook chicken breasts in the instant pot and then shred and added to the soup.
Thanks for the 5 star review and I am glad that it sounds like you will make this again!
I love everything about this recipe, as Iāve never made chicken noodle soup from scratch. It was delicious, the only thing I would say is definitely start with less pepper and start small and work up to 1tsp because it may be too much for toddlers or sensitive people!
Thanks for the 5 star review and I am glad that you love this soup and everything about the recipe!
When making chicken noodle soup…cook noodles separately and keep separate…just add some to each individual bowl being served and then cover with the chicken soup..fresher tasting and noodles do not absorb the liquid. Particularly useful when soup is to be used some time later, even after freezing…just heat soup with noodles and enjoy!
What a great idea!!! Thanks for that tip, never would have thought of it. :D
My husband got his annual flu shot on Friday. Today (Monday) heās been feeling groggy and sick. My husband is a chef, so not much impresses him. I made this soup for him and he absolutely loved it! Had two bowls! I did add some additional seasonings for my taste, but other than that, great recipe!
Thanks for the 5 star review and sorry your husband got sick BUT happy he loved this and the fact that he’s a chef and not easily impressed (I get that), but was impressed by this, that is a great compliment and thank you!
Having our first day of 40 degree weather here in Memphis, gonna make this tonight :)
It was very cold in San Diego too last night, high 40s! Hope this hit the spot!
So Yum! I put too many egg noodles in it so had to add 3 cups of water but with extra seasoning it was still delicious. Lots leftover to freeze as well, thank you for the awesome recipe.
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad to hear that you were able to make it work and that you have leftovers to freeze – the best gift!
One of finest soup recipe to try and it is really helpful in cold and flu. I do make this soup but with some different ingredients as it may differ from country to country. Tonight I am going to try this recipe and I hope it come out as good as yours. Thank you.
Cold and rainy fall day here in New England. Watching football and making this for dinner tonight. Sounds delicious.
It’s a cool and gross day in San Diego too! :) Hope this hit the spot!
Next time I will cut the pepper in this recipe in half and cook the veggies longer. Delicious though!
Glad you enjoyed it and yes, just cook things until they are as soft/firm as you prefer and season accordingly.
I made this today. It was so good!!! My entire family ate it and no one added any extra seasoning. It was so flavorful! Perfect for a cold and rainy day.
Thanks for the 5 star review and I am glad your family loved it!
I just made this soup since me and the hubs where both fighting a cold and needed some good homemade chicken noodle soup that was fast and easy and your recipe HIT THE SPOT! It was super easy since I had half of a left over rotisserie chicken and all the other ingredients (minus the celery, but not a big celery fan anyway so no biggie) and it came out AMAZING! Thank you so much for sharing. I’m a new fan and will be checking for your other recipes! : )
Thanks for the 5 star review and I am glad this hit the spot! Perfect use for your leftover rotisserie chicken!
Fantastic homemade chicken soup!I poached my chicken breasts the Cooks Illustrated recommended way by submerging them in cold water and bringing them to a boil. Doubled up veggies but everything else was the same and it was devoured by my family. Thx for a great recipe.
Thanks for the 5 star review and I am glad this was a hit and devoured by your family!
This was amazing! My husband wasnāt feeling well and this was perfect!! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for the 5 star review and I am glad that this was perfect for him!
I absolutely love this recipe! Thank you so much for sharing! This is the third time I have made it and it is my go-to every time I make a Chicken noodle soup these days.
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad to hear this is your go-to chicken soup recipe!
Can I use canned carrots? Thatās all I have on handš
In a pinch probably ok but not ideal.
Iāve made this recipe twice & it doesnāt disappoint the second time around I made some changes to the recipe. Instead of cooking the noodles with the broth I cooked them separately due to the high temperature the broth boils out.
Glad that worked well for you.
This was a great soup. I wasnāt feeling well so I bought the carrots and celery already cut up. I did cut up the onion. I used lemon pepper rotisserie chicken since that was the only flavor the grocery store had. The soup turned out great and it wasnāt hard to make. It felt great on my throat and I felt better. This recipe is a keeper. I was looking for a soup that was quick to make . I donāt like canned soup because of the sodium. I made this with unsalted bone broth and unsalted chicken broth. I just added the salt thatās in the recipe and it was delicious.
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad that you were able to use products that were convenient and that my recipe is a keeper for you!
Love it!! I donāt like celery so I substituted it for fresh corn off the cob. I added some pepper flakes to give it a kick…delicious!! This will definitely be my permanent at-home recipe.
Glad you loved this and the fresh corn off the cob is an interesting twist and sounds like it worked out great!
I made this last week. I usually do the whole chicken two day kind of recipe. It really is a pain because it takes so long. Your recipe was incredibly delicious; just as good as when I make my own it two-Day recipe. So thank you very much for my short cut, delicious chicken noodle soup! Love it so much, I’m making it again tomorrow.
Thanks for the five star review and glad that this saved you two days of work when you can do it in approx 30 minutes! Great to hear you’re making it again today!
I made this soup with low sodium bone broth. It was delicious. The seasonings make it stand out. It does get thick after storing, so fewer noodles would fix that without altering flavor.
Thanks for the five star review and glad it was delicious!
Yes you can either cut back the noodles a bit or increase the broth of bit if you prefer a brothier soup.
It Did! And it was DELICIOUS!! I had thought that was the case, but wanted to double check. Can’t wait to try out some more of your recipes!! Best,Jen
Thanks for the five star review and Iām glad that it was delicious!
A quick question for you – when making the soup, do you put the noodles in cooked, al dente/almost completely cooked, or raw? I’m going to be trying this tonight for my husband and can’t wait!! :) Thank you in advance!
-Jen
Not sure if my reply made it in time for dinner tonight, but totally raw. I mean you could pre-cook them but I have never done that; they just cook in the broth in the pot.
My boyfriend was feeling really sick the past couple days so we decided to look up some chicken noodle soup recipies. I’m glad to say we found yours first and he loved it! It’s already made him feel just a little bit better so thank you for sharing it with us :)
Thanks for the five star review and Iām glad this soup helped your bf feel a bit better!
Delicious, easy, kids love it, did take longer for cutting up ingredients but time isnt an issue.
Thanks for the five star review and Iām glad the kids loved it!
My husband wasn’t feeling well so I decided to fix him some Chicken Noodle Soup, even though it’s not one of my favorite soups — just not a big fan . . . until now. Following your recipe, I made him your soup and it was DELISH! We had it for dinner that night, both eating several bowls! We enjoyed it so much, we finished it off for lunch the next day. I pretty much followed the recipe using a rotisserie chicken, 1/4 tsp. garlic powder (instead of cloves), increased the veggies by 1/2 a cup, and was a little heavy handed with the herbs. Because we like more broth, I used an additional 14 oz. can of chicken broth and cut back on the noodles. I also added some celery salt and a couple of Tbs. of “Better Than Broth/Roasted Chicken Base”. Avery, I LOVED the soup but really, really appreciated how fast and easy the recipe was and will definitely be checking out some of your others. :)
Thanks for the five star review and Iām glad that you loved the soup and were able to customize it to your liking! So glad you appreciate how fast and easy this was!
Great recipe. thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad it was great!
This is a really good recipe for chicken noodle soup. It did take more time than 35 minutes to prepare with the cutting and chopping of the vegetables, but it was really good though. Thank you for the recipe!
I am glad you enjoyed the soup.
Thanks a lot! Worked out great :)Very very tasty!! Boyfriend said it’s the best chicken noodle soup he’s had in a while!
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad your boyfriend loved it!
My kids donāt like vegetables, especially onions and garlic, but they LOVED this soup!!!!! Only thing I did different was add a bunch of basil leaves fresh instead of parsley.
Very excited to give this a try. One question though. Can i make the soup a few hours ahead of time and just add the noodle when I’m ready?
Yes that should be fine.
My husband wasn’t feeling well so I found this quick recipe. He thought it was great! It took a bit longer than 30 min, but still fairly quick. Overall a really good and simple recipe, leaving room to make adjustments to taste. The changes I made were minimal: Used 4 garlic cloves. I found the 64 oz of broth didn’t even cover the uncooked noodles so I had to add another can of broth plus a can of water. I added a bit more of the herbs rather than salt since my husband is on a low sodium diet. The only other thing I’d do differently next time is use less noodles and/or add more of the veggies.Thanks for sharing this recipe! :)
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad you enjoyed the recipe overall!
My son just had his wisdom teeth removed and I needed to make him something nutritious and soft to eat. I followed the recipe but made a few minor adjustments. I used leftover dark turkey meat instead of chicken, cooked soup longer to get the veggies really soft, cooked noodles separately so they wouldn’t get too mushy since I wanted to cook the soup longer, and did not add the optional lemon juice. He loved it and so do I. Thanks for a good and quick chicken noodle soup recipe.
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad you and your son both loved it!
I made this recipe exactly as written (well, except I used different noodles since I didn’t have egg noodles) and it turned out so tasty! We all loved it. Thank you!
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad it was so tasty for you!
Best noodle soup for rainy season. Can I use pork, beef or seafood instead of chicken? I will make this for my family. Thanks sharing.
Yes you can but you will have to experiment exactly what cuts, types, how long to simmer for, etc. since I haven’t tried those options.
Great recipe! Used less of indicated for egg noodles and three cartons of chicken bone broth. Delicious! My family loved it. Thank you!
Thanks for the five star review and glad it was delicious and your family loved it!
This looks yummy and making tonight! Too cook the noodles first then add? Thanks!!
Step 5, you add the noodles raw, they cook in the broth.

What a nice idea! I made this soup last week and my husband even took some for lunch the next day. I will be making it this evening as well.
I’m glad this turned out so well that you made it again!
Probably the best chicken noodle soup Iāve had. You wonāt be disappointed!

Wow!!! This soup is yummy!! Canāt wait for my girls to have it when they come home from school today… so tasty and easy to make… only twist I made wa a squeezed an orange in it… something my grandma would do to her soup when we were not feeling good!! š¤š¤š¤
Thanks for the five star review and Iām glad this came out so great! I usually use a bit of lemon but I can see the orange being a nice touch especially if it’s something your grandma did.
Averie, thank you! I just made this recipe tonight and everyone loved it! Very easy and delicious! Thank you!
Thanks for the five star review and Iām glad it was very easy, delicious, and a hit with everyone!
Excellent! The flavor of the herbs lingers in your mouth! I like some kick so I would add some cayenne or something. Way too many noodles tho- I would cut the noodles in half.
Thanks for the five star review and Iām glad overall you found the soup to be excellent!
Averie, , I just made it and itās just so amazing! All I can say is WOW! Great recipe!
Thanks for the 5 star review and Iām glad it was amazing!
Hi! I can’t remember if I’ve commented or just always told myself to, but I just want you to know how much I LOVE this recipe and have made it countless times.

I was unsure at first. I donāt normally like chicken noodle soup. But this recipe was very good. Everyone loved it. I will definitely make it again!
Thanks for the five star review and Iām glad you will definitely make it again!
Made three times. Family loves this. I think I will cut the pepper in half or more and only add one clove of garlic. Thank you!
Thanks for the five star review and Iām glad your family loves this!
Full disclosure: I mostly used your recipe but cobbled it together with another one that uses tortellini instead of egg noodles. AND I completely forgot to put the parsley in, even though it was staring me in the face. Nonetheless – it turned out fantastic!! The flavor is amazing, even without the parsley. I did add extra broth, and when I ran out I of that, added a couple of cups of water and tossed in a couple of chicken broth cubes so the flavors didnāt dilute. All in all, loved the recipe – thank you for sharing!
Thanks for the five star review and Iām glad you loved it! I also have this same recipe using tortellini as well here https://www.averiecooks.com/easy-30-minute-homemade-chicken-tortellini-soup/

Amazing taste & so easy ! The lemon juice really adds a wonderful depth of flavor to the soup. It is one of the best chicken soups I’ve had. I have made this several times and getting ready to make it again on this cold rainy winter day in Virginia. Thanks for the recipe!
Thanks for the five star review and Iām glad youāve made the soup many times and love it!
Averie, thanks! Very tasty noodle soup turned out. Very cool photos!
Thanks for the five star review and the photo compliments!
I made this recipe as written, except I had added a rind of parmesan to the broth to add extra flavor. This recipe is easy, quick and delicious.
Thanks for the five star review and Iām sure the Parmesan was a great touch!
My hubby and I loved this soup. Simple, quick and easy, I used chicken thighs simply because had them on hand. Had to add an extra 6 cups of broth because hubby is a big broth fan. Just have to say Thanks for the recipe!
Glad you and your husband loved the soup!
One word- Amazing!!
Thanks for the 5 star review and Iām glad it was amazing!
Wow I just found out I’ve got the flu and found this recipe to make. It is delicious and so easy. Thank you! I will share with my family
Get well soon!
I made one change to the recipe, I added homemade matzo balls. Thank you for this easy and delicious recipe.
Thanks for the 5 star review and Iām sure it was delish with the homemade matzo balls!
Best chicken noodle soup I’ve ever made. My son and I loved this recipe!
Glad it’s the best chicken noodle soup you’ve ever made!
I am trying to make this recipe for the first time, but I have only 32 oz of Chicken broth. Is there anything I can use to substitute for the rest? Since recipe calls for 64 oz…
Not really…water or some other kind of broth but really I recommend the chicken broth for chicken soup.
What brand of chicken broth do you use? I find that the broth makes all the difference, and I have not found one that I like as well as Sweet Sue in the grocery stores (which they no longer carry), so I have been using boullion.
I agree, they do all taste slightly differently, I tend to use Trader Joeās a reduced sodium or some of my local store brands that are organic reduced sodium.
Made this tonight it was very good! What is a serving size for the nutritional value?
Approximately one cup But itās not an exact science sense one cup could be mostly broth or 1 cup could be much more noodles and meat.
This is the best recipe!!!! Easy to make and I used a whole rotisserie chicken. So yummy!!!
Thanks for the 5 star review and Iām glad you loved it!
Love, Love, Love this recipe!! Made this for the 1st time for my sick, elderly neighbor & we both loved it! Short, sweet, & just what you want in a chicken noodle soup. Thanks for a great recipe!
Glad you absolutely love the recipe!
I made this a few nights ago and it was very well received. I did not change any of the ingredients but did make one change in technique. I had a very large chicken breast with skin and bone. I put it in the pot when adding the broth and let it simmer all that time. Took it out a couple of hours later, let it cool, shredded it and returned it to the pot after the noodles went in. Worked out great and one less step / pan. (I know this says 30 minute soup, but I had all afternoon) This soup is hearty enough that we made a meal of it along with a piece of corn bread. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for the 5 star review and I’m glad it was a great meal for you!
So yummy! This had great flavor!!! There were a little too many noodles for my liking and not enough broth, but that’s easily adjustable according to one’s liking :) Thank you for the great go to chicken noodle soup recipe!
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad it is a great go-to chicken noodle soup recipe for you!
Forgot my rating. From comment above. Thanks.
Thanks!
I’m a cook. I decided to give this recipe a try in the restaurant. Of course made it bigger. But it was a hit. Very tasty!
Glad it was a hit!
I have never liked chicken noodle soup until this recipe. This is one of my favorite meals! So good, thank you for the recipe!
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad it’s now one of your favorite meals!
Delicious!!!I added extra broth and a little water, too. I hesitated when adding the lemon juice. So glad I did!
Thanks for the five star review and Iām glad that the lemon juice delivered for you!
5* great and simplistic. I added 3 cups of water since pure chicken broth is strong not to mention the rotisserie chickens broth and it stretched the amount of overall broth a tad bit. So I boiled my noodles apart and drained and cooled now all I do is add my rotisserie chicken and noodles that arenāt over cooked at time of serving and it is amazing. Thanks for the post!
Thanks for the five star review and Iām glad that you loved it!
Excellent! Made this today for my 86 year old mother and she said it was better than hers! This will be my go to recipe from now on. Itās easy but so delicious and full of flavor. Tastes like itās been cooking all day. Thank you so much!!
Thanks for the five star review and that’s quite a compliment that your mother said this is better than hers! Glad it will be your go-to!
This is the BEST recipe. Do not leave out the lemon. It adds such an amazing burst of flavor. Everyone in my family said I should open a shop and serve this soup with my homemade bread.
Thanks for the five star review and Iām glad your family loved my recipe and said you should open a shop :)
I have made many many chicken noodle soups over the years but made this today for first time, This recipe is definitely a keeper. So delicious. I did add extra broth.
Thanks for the five star review and Iām glad my recipe is a keeper!
I made this recipe tonight. I think I screwed up the quantity of egg noodlesSo, just one question. Is 12 oz of egg noodles a volume measurement or a weight measurement? I assumed weight measurement and ended up having to adding more broth. An entire package of egg noodles is 12 oz. Tasted good.
Itās a weight measurement. You want to see how many ounces are on the package and add accordingly. If you added 12 ounces from a 12 ounce package that is correct.
This soup is amazing! Thank you for sharing it!I am making it again today for my grandkids. For the noodles I used grandma’s frozen noodles just because we like those but they seemed to soak up a lot of the broth so I will add extra in today’s batch.It is the best Chicken noodle soup I’ve tried and very easy!
Thanks for the five star review and Iām glad it’s the best chicken noodle soup you’ve tried!
Love this recipe. Second tome making it. Itās even better the second day. I love a loaf of crust bread along side š. I do cook the noodles in another pot for a few minutes then add to the soup… keeps them from soaking up too much of that delicious broth. Also, I simmer a few of those rotisserie bones with the veggies for more flavor, then remove them with the bay leaf. I like a bit of dill instead of parsley… yummy.
Thanks for the five star review and Iām glad you love the soup! And everything you mentioned, sounds like great tips and tricks to really have amazing flavor in the soup.
This is the best chicken noodle soup recipe ever!! Have made many times for meals for friends and they always rave and ask for the recipe!! The lemon juice and garlic is the secret weapon! Thanks for this amazing recipe! I do sub turkey once in awhile, Yum Yum!!
Thanks for the five star review, Iām glad you love the soup, and I agree for sure that the lemon is the secret ingredient. A lot of people donāt think about acids, but when you really think about balancing flavors, the lemon is really so important. And Iām glad that you noticed that, thanks!
Dont usually post comments on these but this was super good and super easy. My whole family is sick and chicken soup sounded good. I pretty much followed the directions exact, I added just a tiny amount of good quality butter to add a little richness. Recipe is definently a keeper
Thanks for the five star review and Iām glad this was super easy and good for your sick family!
1st time EVER making Chicken Noodle soup (my husband and I have our favorite at a restaurant), but this was way better! He is so picky! But after the second bite he said “this is way better than their’s” That is a wife win for me! I did add 1/2 tsp. Turmeric and 1/2 tsp. Fresh. Sage and some chicken bullion granules to taste.. This was so food thank you!
Glad this was a wife win for you and that it pleased Mr. Picky :) And better than a restaurant!
Awesome good recipe, I recommend not waiting till you’re sick to make it,it’s amazing anytime!
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad it’s amazing for you!
Made the soup for dinner. Recipe easy to follow and came out great.
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad it came out great!
This was amazing. I was skeptical about the lemon juice, but it really balanced out the soup. I added a tiny bit of jalapeƱo to give it a kick. So good!
Thanks for the five star review and Iām glad you trusted in the lemon juice and the soup turned out amazing!
Easy and delicious!
Thanks for the five star review and Iām glad it was easy and delish!
Just made this for my sick boyfriend, he loved it!! (We both did!!) Delicious!!
Thanks for the five star review and Iām glad you both loved it!
This soup is soooo yummy. My husband is a soup freak .He loved it.
Thanks for the five star review and Iām glad you both loved it!
This soup has become a staple. It is requested at least once a month even in the summer( I am actually making it now as I comment). I do everything as directed the only thing I do is simmer it all afternoon to let the flavors all marry together even more than what they already are. Then I just add the noodles a little bit before we want to eat. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad this is a year round staple for you!
Made this tonight and everyone enjoyed it! I didn’t even have to add salt. This is the recipe I plan to continue making if anyone in the family gets sick. Easy and tasty, thank you.
Thanks for the 5 star review and Iām glad it was a hit!
This was excellent as written! I had half a lemon pepper rotisserie chicken leftover which worked perfectly. The only thing I left out was the oregano…just because. Hearty and Delicious!
Glad this was a winner for you!
This chicken noodle soup is absolutely delish to serve with baguettes!
I do not cook at all because it’s just too much prep and mess for my liking but I woke up with a sore throat today and needed some homemade soup. This was just as easy as you said and just as great tasting as well. Thanks so much for posting!
Thanks for the five star review and Iām glad this was easy for you on a day when you were feeling under the weather!
Made this soup while not feeling well. I just have to say this was absolutely amazing. My husband has never really liked chicken noodle soup, however he wants to know when I am going to make it again, he loved it is an understament. Thank you for sharing this online.
Glad that this was a hit and that your husband loved the soup and wants you to make it again!
The KISS method at it’s best. Simple. Fast. Good.
I totally agree with you!
THANK YOU for this great recipe. I just had bowl of it for breakfast!Iām not a fan of chunky veggies in soup, so I chopped onions, carrots and celery in Cuisinart before cooking. I didnāt have egg noodles so I used little over one half cup tiny macaroni called Acini Di Pepe. Theyāre so small they cook quickly. Amazing what a wee bit of lemon juice adds to flavor.
Glad that you enjoyed soup for breakfast this morning! Iāve been knowing to do that as well. Thanks for the five star review and glad you love it!
This soup recipe was easy and very good! My family loved it. I will definitely add this recipe to my favorites.
Thanks for the five star review and Iām glad your family loved it and that it will be in your rotation!
Absolutely amazing!! Just made this last night and ate it again for lunch today. It was even better today! Will definitely be making this again!!
Thanks for the five star review and Iām glad that it was a hit and even better today!
Sooooo yummy!! Have made this multiple times. Great with leftover turkey from Thanksgiving too!
Yes it works great with leftover turkey as well. I actually have a recipe specifically for turkey noodle soup which is basically a carbon copy of this one except with turkey. Glad that you love the soup and thanks for the five star review!
Thanks for the amazing recipe, delicious and super fast. Loved it! šš
Thanks for the five star review and Iām glad that it was amazing and super fast!
Wife & I were feeling under the weather and this really hit the spot!! Fantastic
Thanks for the five star review and Iām glad it hit the spot!
Feeling under the weather and made this tonight. Just what the doctor ordered!
Thanks for the five star review and Iām glad this hit the spot!
Delicious and easy. I’ve made this recipe twice and the only thing I added was a can of cream of chicken soup but it would’ve been great without it.
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad you’ve made it twice already!
Made this today & it turned out amazing (amazing is an understatement) š tastes like my moms homemade chicken noodle soup sheād always make and everyone would devour within the same day. I forgot bay leaves so I didnāt add them, and I didnāt add the lemon juice but thatās just my personal preference. I also added the juice from the chicken I baked (bought a whole chicken from store baked at 350 degrees for 2 hrs) definitely added even more flavor in my opinion :)
Thanks for the five star review and Iām glad that it turned out amazing and tastes like your mom’s!
Not a cook. Overcast and cool weather. Feeling like we need a healthy meal. All healthy ingredients. Feeling proud of my momma self. Canāt wait for the family to try!!! Soup tester me thinks itās gonna be good!!
So glad you gave it a try and think it’s going to be good!
i admit it, i can’t cook to save my life but i can follow a recipe! this is by far the best thing i’ve made, my husband and my aunt can’t stop raving about it!! i can’t wait to make this again but next time i’m gonna have to double the broth because the next day the soup was gone but there were plenty of noodles, veggies and chicken left although that was still beyond delicious i’m much rather have all of it :p thank you so much for this!!
Thanks for the five star review and glad you love it and were a superstar with your husband and aunt!
This recipe is perfect! I ended up boiling some chicken legs that I got on sale reserved the water it was boiled In, which is now extra broth! and ended up using that when I put a whole bag of egg noodles in. it’s delicious!
Glad you love it and great thinking to reserve that water for broth!
Good recipe but I added 96 oz of chicken broth and only 8 oz of egg noodles. 64 oz of broth is not enough for 12 oz of noodles!!
My family just really loves their noodles! But always do what works best for you.
I’ve made this twice now and I love the flavor and I love that it has way less salt than a can of chicken noodle soup. But I have had troubles with the noodles both times. Each time when we have the soup on the second day, they’re so soggy and broken up that itās like eating mush. I cannot find noodles that are as thick as yours! Can you share what brand you use for the egg noodles?
Thanks for the five star review and Iām glad love the soup!
I honestly just use the store brand of noodles that my local grocery store (Ralph’s) carries. Maybe try a different grocery store or an amazon search to come up with another brand that will hold up better.
Soup was good, but recipe took way longer than stated. Will make again giving myself more time to prepare
Everyone works at different paces and rates in the kitchen. Glad you enjoyed the soup.
Made this tonight. It came out soooo good. Didnāt have enough chicken broth on hand so substituted with 2 cups of veggie broth. I used no yolk egg noodles since thatās what I had on hand. Canāt wait to make this again. Definitely a keeper. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the five star review and Iām glad that you will make this again!
Iāve been making this for about a year now. About once a week all fall and winter. My whole family loves it. The only changes Iāve made are less noodles and I add some baby golden potatoes. Yum!
Thanks for the five star review and Iām glad this has been on your rotation for awhile!
First time I have ever made chicken soup. I picked this recipe because it sounded easy to make… it was!!!! My husband and I agreed it was the best chicken noodle soup we have ever had!I did increase the chicken broth by 32oz… it was still a very hearty soup!
Thanks for the five star review and Iām glad that the first time that you ever tried making chicken soup that it turned out to be the best chicken soup youāve ever had!
This was the most flavorful chicken soup I have ever made! I used rice instead of noodles (no noodles in the house). 5 stars for sure
Thanks for the five star review and glad it’s the most flavorful chicken soup you’ve ever made!
What constitutes a serving, how much soup?
About 1 cup give or take.
Would a freezer bag work
Not sure…soup in a bag sounds like a potential huge mess to me.
I freeze all my soups in freezer weight ziplocks. Use a straw to suck out the air. Place on cookie sheet so lies and freezes flat. I fold the zipper part up against edge of cookie sheet, just because. Saves tons of space when you can stack bag upon bag once frozen.
Thanks for the info!
What would you freeze it in ? Would I need to add more broth and how would I defrost it
Freeze it in a plastic container or a glass container, I recommend freezing it in smaller amounts rather than the whole batch at once, no you do not need to add more broth and simply defrosted by putting it on your counter and waiting for it to get up to room temperature.
Made this recipe tonight! It was delicious and easy to double the recipe we are a family of 9. Everyone wanted seconds. I added a 1/2 teaspoon of tumeric for color and more earthiness. I also used 4 tablespoons of lemon juice. Thank you for such a easy recipe to follow
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad this was easy to double to feed your whole family!
Great recipe! The only thing I would change is less noodles just so there is more broth. Other than that, itās yummy, great flavor :)
Thanks for the 5 star review and definitely feel free to add more broth as you see fit and/or less noodles. You may have to play with the seasoning/salt levels.
Agree…delicious soup but way too many noodles for me. I will add some more broth or take out some of the noodles. Thank you for sharing.
This is the LITERAL best chicken noodle soup I have never had! It has quickly become my comfort food and we make it several times a month! Thanks for sharing š
Thanks for the five star review and Iām glad this is the best chicken noodle soup you’ve ever had!
I have made this soup many times! I don’t think there’s a better or easier recipe out there. My granddaughter loves rice so I make mine with rice in place of noodles, some of the time! Thank you for a truly delicious recipe! BTW – it freezes great! Love having it available quickly if needed!
Thanks for the five star review and Iām glad this is a favorite of yours and your granddaughters!
So delicious! My kids loved it. Very good!
