This Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup recipe is one that you can go back to again and again. It is the one homemade chicken noodle soup to permanently put in your recipe box. It has all the classic flavors you love: sweet slices of carrot, fresh hints of celery, savory pieces of onion, the warm flavor of garlic, and, the star- chicken.

The chicken broth in my recipe is not homemade, but it is bursting with chicken flavor! There is nothing worse than digging into a bowl of chicken soup and the broth looks like water and the only chicken flavor comes from the actual pieces of chicken. The “secret” to getting a bold flavored broth without making your own stock is a tablespoon of chicken base. If you are not familiar with chicken base it is similar to a chicken bouillon but it comes in a tub and is paste-like. It adds that intense chicken flavor you want in the the broth of your chicken noodle soup.
However, for me the very best part of the soup are the Reames frozen egg noodles. They are so much better than the traditional dry kluski noodle or a dry egg noodle. The Reames noodles are thick and have a big hearty bite and actual FLAVOR. It really is the icing on the cake.. or I guess in this case, the noodle in the soup.
Soup for Dinner
At our house we just serve this with saltine crackers or a large warm baguette, and that’s it. This is a pretty hearty soup that fills you up on it’s own! A loaf of my 4 Ingredient Beer Bread would make a great side too!
This recipe makes quite a bit of soup, so plan on leftovers! Which, in this case, is even better than the first go-around. YUM
I hope you give this recipe for Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup a try in your kitchen.

This is my favorite chicken noodle soup recipe. How would you suggest I adapt it for the slow cooker?
Susie says
First, thank you so much!! That is high praise for sure.
You could actually start with raw, whole chicken breasts and pop everything into the slow cooker (excluding the egg noodles) and cook for 6-8 hours on low. Then remove the chicken and shred or dice. Add the chicken back, add the frozen egg noodles and cook on low for an additional 30 mins to 1 hour.
The only part I am not 100% sure on is how long it will take to slow cook the frozen egg noodles. Just check back on the noodles at 30 minutes and see if they are done.
Report back and let me know how it is!!!
