Chick Fil A Chicken Noodle Soup
Description
This recipe starts by sautéing onion, celery, carrot, and garlic in olive oil before adding a whole chicken along with chicken broth, water, bay leaves, and fresh parsley. The mixture simmers gently for about two hours until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and tender. After removing the chicken meat from bones and skin, it is returned to the pot. Egg noodles are added last and cooked until soft, melding with the broth and vegetables.
The resulting soup balances rich homemade broth with the natural flavors of cooked whole chicken and fresh vegetables. The broth clarity and mild seasoning give it a gentle, nourishing character. The egg noodles contribute softness and body, making the soup satisfying and hearty.
This soup can be served as a starter or main dish, complemented by bread or crackers. It suits those seeking a familiar, homemade chicken noodle soup experience approximating Chick Fil A’s take on the classic.
To ensure safety and proper texture, the chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit before deboning and shredding.

Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large stock pot or dutch oven over medium heat. Add in the diced onions, celery and carrots. Sauté these vegetables for 3-5 minutes until soft. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute to aromatic.
- Then add the whole chicken, chicken broth and water to the pot. Make sure that the whole chicken is covered with the liquid. Add more water if needed. Then bring the mixture to a boil.

Notes
- Use an instant-read thermometer to confirm the chicken is cooked to at least 165°F internal temperature before removing it from the bones.
