Ingredients
- 10 cups water
- 4 chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 large onion
- 1 cup carrots thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons chicken bouillon granules
- 1/2 cup celery thinly sliced
- 10 ounces Country Pasta Homemade Style Egg Noodles (you can also use homemade noodles)
Instructions
- In a large stock pot combine water, chicken and salt. Boil until chicken is cooked completely through.
- Remove the cooked chicken onto a plate to cool. Keep the broth. Cover the chicken with plastic wrap so it doesn't dry out. Refrigerate.
- Strain the broth to get a nice clear broth for the soup and put it back into the stock pot.
- Peel onion and chop into chunks. Combine 1/2 cup of water and onion in a food processor or blender. Puree for 30 seconds, add to the chicken broth.
- Add carrots, chicken bouillon granules, and celery. Bring the broth to a boil.
- Once the broth is boiling, add egg noodles. Cook the noodles until done, 15-20 minutes.
- While the pasta is cooking, cut the chicken breasts into small bite-sized chunks. I like to break and tear it into chunks.
- Once the noodles are cooked, take off the heat and add the bite-sized pieces of chicken breast.
- Add bouillon granules (instead of salt) and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes
- If you need to add more liquid to the soup, add a can of Swanson's chicken broth or water and season with more of the Wyler's chicken bouillon granules to taste.

- This recipe can easily be made in the crock pot OR the instant pot! The recipes are all very similar but with a few differences. Try our Instant Pot Chicken Noodle Soup or our Crockpot Chicken Noodle Soup recipe.
- Very few herbs or spices are needed in when making this Chicken Noodle Soup from scratch, because the chicken broth and vegetables is so flavorful. But you could add parsley, oregano, garlic cloves, rosemary, thyme, lemon juice, cayenne pepper or a bay leaf for deeper flavor.
- Switch out chicken for turkey! It's a great recipe to make after Thanksgiving to use up those turkey leftovers.
- Stir in spinach, kale, peas, or any other veggies you like.
