Chicken Noodle Soup
Chicken Noodle Soup features tender diced chicken, egg noodles, and diced vegetables like onions, carrots, and celery simmered in a flavorful chicken broth seasoned with poultry spices. The vegetables are softened first, then broth and chicken are added, followed by cooking noodles directly in the soup. This develops a slightly thickened broth from the starch, adding body and comfort to the soup. It's a warm, savory dish good for nourishing meals and can be stored in the fridge or freezer.
Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon butter
- 1 cup onion white, diced
- 4-5 carrots large, diced
- 3-4 celery stalks, diced
- 2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
- 2 cups chicken diced meat
- 8-10 cups chicken stock (more or less broth for preference)
- 1 cup egg noodles dry pasta
Instructions
- Place the onions and butter in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Fry the onions until soft, then add in the celery and carrots.
- Fry for another 4-5 minutes, then add in the poultry seasoning.
- Fry for 1 minute, then pour in the broth.
- Bring to a low simmer and cook until the vegetables are tender.
- Add in the chicken and the pasta and cook until the pasta is tender, around 10-11 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from the stove top and serve hot.
- Store in a closed container in the fridge for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
Notes
- Cooking noodles directly in the soup thickens the broth due to the released starch; cook separately if you prefer a lighter broth.
- Store the soup in a sealed container for 3-4 days in the fridge or freeze for up to 3 months.
