Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe
Description
This soup starts with sautéing carrots, celery, and garlic in butter to develop mild sweetness and aromatic depth. Broths are added along with cooked, seasoned, chopped chicken breast and dried herbs such as basil and oregano, enhancing the savory base. The mixture is brought to a boil, then simmered to allow flavors to meld. Egg noodles are cooked in the broth until tender but not mushy.
The resulting soup is hearty with soft vegetables and tender chicken throughout a well-seasoned broth. The noodles provide substance and texture, making it suitable as a light meal or starter. The use of both chicken and vegetable broth contributes layered flavors.
For convenience, this recipe can be adapted for slow-cooker preparation by combining all ingredients except noodles and cooking for several hours. Noodles are added near the end to ensure they don't become overly soft.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter unsalted
- 1 cup carrot thinly sliced
- ½ cup celery chopped
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced
- 4 (14.5-ounce) cans chicken broth full-sodium
- 1 (14.5-ounce) can vegetable broth
- 2 chicken breast seasoned to taste, cooked and chopped
- 1 teaspoon basil dried
- ½ teaspoon oregano dried
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1½ cups egg noodles medium size
Instructions

- Add broths, chopped chicken, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper to taste and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to a simmer, add egg noodles, and simmer for 20 minutes. Serve warm.
