Chicken Noodle Soup | My Mom's Recipe

There’s nothing quite like a warm bowl of homemade chicken noodle soup when you’re feeling under the weather—or just craving some comfort food. Lately, I’ve been battling a cold since heading back to school, and all I’ve wanted is my mom’s Chicken Noodle Soup. It’s simple, wholesome, and packed with flavor. To me, it’s the best soup ever, and I’m excited to share it with you!

Why This Soup is Special

• Nostalgic & Comforting: A homemade recipe straight from my mom’s kitchen.

• Nutritious & Healing: Packed with protein, vitamins, and a flavorful broth to soothe the soul.

• Simple Yet Delicious: Made with basic ingredients but full of rich, homemade taste.

INGREDIENTS

3 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts, whole

6 Cups of Chicken Broth, I use Better Than Bullion

1 Stalk of Celery, sliced

2 Carrots, diced (you can use whole baby carrots as well)

1 Md. Onion, Diced

3 Cloves of Garlic, minced

2 tsp Oregano

1 tsp Salt

1/2 tsp Thyme

1/2 tsp Black Pepper

1 Bag of Egg Noodles

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, add in the butter and melt. Once it's melted, add in the onions, carrots, and celery. Cook until tender, about 5 minutes.

2. Next, add in the garlic and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Now add in the spices (salt, pepper, thyme, oregano) and stir to combine.

3. Add in the chicken broth and chicken breasts and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and let the chicken cook for about 10 - 12 minutes.

4. Remove the chicken from the broth and set aside. Add to the pot the egg noodles and cook according to the box.

5. While the noodles are cooking, chop the chicken into bite size pieces. You can shred the chicken as well. Whichever way you prefer.

6. Add the chicken back to the pot and once the noodles are done, it's time to serve.

7. Do a taste test and add any salt and/or pepper as needed.

Tips for the Best Chicken Noodle Soup

• For extra depth of flavor, use homemade broth or let the soup simmer longer.

• Want it creamier? Stir in a splash of heavy cream or a pat of butter before serving.

• Make it heartier by adding extra veggies like peas or spinach.

• Meal prep tip: This soup stores well in the fridge for up to 4 days or freezes beautifully for later.

This homemade chicken noodle soup is the perfect remedy for cold days, busy weeks, or just when you need a hug in a bowl. Let me know if you try it and how it reminds you of home!
