A comforting and hearty chicken noodle soup recipe perfect for chilly evenings or cozy nights, packed with tender chicken, savory broth, and fresh herbs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 8 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced thinly
  • 3 stalks celery, chopped into small pieces
  • 1 medium onion, diced finely
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups egg noodles
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley, plus extra for garnish
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Optional: 1 bay leaf

Instructions

  1. Start by chopping your carrots, celery, and onion into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic and set everything aside. If using raw chicken, pat it dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in your soup pot over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, cooking until fragrant and softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the carrots and celery, cooking for an additional 5 minutes until slightly tender.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth. If you’re using a bay leaf, add it now. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
  4. Lower the heat to medium and carefully add the chicken. Let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and easy to shred.
  5. Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.
  6. Add the egg noodles to the pot and simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  7. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Stir in the fresh parsley and lemon juice right before serving.
