Simple and Delicious Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe

This recipe provides a step-by-step guide on how to make a comforting and flavorful chicken noodle soup. Perfect for a cozy night in or when you're feeling under the weather, this recipe is easy to follow and customizable to your taste.

Ingredients You'll Need:

• For the Broth:

  • 8 cups chicken broth (low sodium preferred)
  • 1 whole chicken (about 3-4 pounds), or 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 2 carrots, roughly chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, roughly chopped
  • 1 onion, roughly chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste

• For the Noodles and Chicken:

  • 8 ounces egg noodles
  • Cooked chicken, shredded (from the whole chicken or thighs)

Instructions:

Step 1: Making the Broth

1. In a large stockpot or Dutch oven, combine the chicken broth, whole chicken (or chicken thighs), carrots, celery, onion, garlic, thyme, and rosemary.
2. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 1 hour, or until the chicken is cooked through. If using chicken thighs, reduce simmer time to about 45 minutes.
3. Remove the chicken from the pot and let it cool slightly before shredding the meat. Discard the skin and bones. Tip: Reserve some of the cooking liquid from the chicken to add extra flavor to the soup.

Step 2: Preparing the Noodles

1. While the chicken is simmering, bring a separate pot of salted water to a boil.
2. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain the noodles and set aside.

Step 3: Assembling the Soup

1. Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve, discarding the solids. Pro Tip: For a richer, creamier soup, you can use an immersion blender to partially puree some of the vegetables before straining.
2. Return the strained broth to the pot. Add the shredded chicken and cooked noodles.
3. Heat through for about 5 minutes, or until heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 4: Serving and Enjoying

1. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve immediately.
2. Optional additions: Consider adding fresh parsley, chives, or a squeeze of lemon juice for extra flavor. You can also add other vegetables like peas, green beans, or corn.

Tips for the Best Chicken Noodle Soup

• Use high-quality broth: The broth forms the base of the soup, so using a good quality broth will significantly impact the overall flavor.
• Don't overcook the noodles: Overcooked noodles will become mushy and unpleasant. Cook them until al dente for the best texture.
• Customize to your taste: Feel free to add or substitute vegetables, herbs, and spices to create your own unique version of chicken noodle soup.
