Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe
This is one recipe that we cook so often because it’s the best and most delicious way to get our veggies in with no one complaining. Why?
- Broth = good.
- Chicken = fall apart good.
- Egg noodles = carb good (sub with zucchini noodles for a low carb option).
There’s no need to use a whole chicken to make the broth for this. We cut corners in this family by using bone-in skinless chicken thighs. No skimming broth needed. No need to make a separate broth. Just one soup in one pot, and all from scratch!
Chicken Noodle Broth
You can use pre-cooked chicken or shredded rotisserie chicken and add the meat in right at the end when your noodles are done and veggies are cooked, but the flavours you get from cooking your chicken right into this soup from scratch are so much better and richer.
What goes in Chicken Noodle Soup?
This recipe is extremely forgiving in that you can add or take out whatever you like, don’t like. The basic veggies we normally use are:
- Carrots
- Corn
- Spinach
- Green Beans
We also sometimes add in pumpkin, potatoes, zucchini or peas. You can add as much or as little as you want from each vegetable!
I love using vermicelli egg noodles in our soup, but you can use thin spaghetti, angel hair, or ay other type of pasta you like.
Nothing says a big bowl of comfort like a steaming hot bowl of soups and some fresh bread rolls to mop up the broth afterwards.
