    If you are looking for a kid friendly chicken noodle soup recipe check out this one for Chicken Noodle Soup for Kids. Or if you have an Instant Pot and want to make quick work of this recipe then hop over to my recipe for Instant Pot Chicken Noodle Soup (it’s a dump and start recipe!).

    Chicken Noodle Soup IS The Best Comfort Food

    There is a bite of cold in the air, the leaves are turning beautiful shades of red and yellow, and snow is not long off. Fall is here and it is time to break out my favorite Homemade Soup recipes.

    There’s nothing better than a chilly day, a big fuzzy blanket, and a warm bowl of Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup.

    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 Secret to Flavorful Chicken Broth

    The broth in my recipe is not homemade chicken broth, 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. It adds that intense chicken flavor you want in the the broth of your chicken noodle soup.

    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. You can find it in the soup aisle of your grocery store. I like to buy Better Than Bouillon brand.

    Frozen Egg Noodles

    One of the very best part of this chicken noodle soup recipe is the Reames frozen egg noodles. They are so much better than the traditional dry kluski noodle or dry egg noodles. 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

    Ingredients

    • 1 Yellow Onion chopped
    • 3 Celery Stalks chopped
    • 4 Carrots peeled and chopped
    • 2 Large Garlic Cloves chopped
    • 4 tablespoon Butter
    • ½ teaspoon turmeric
    • ½ teaspoon onion powder
    • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
    • ½ teaspoon pepper
    • 1 bay leaf
    • 2 tablespoon flour
    • 2 quarts Chicken Stock
    • 1 tablespoon Chicken Base
    • 12 oz frozen egg noodles I use Reames
    • 3 cups cooked chicken diced/chopped (I use rotisserie chicken)
    • 1 ½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar
    Prevent your screen from going dark while you are cooking!

    Instructions

    • Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Saute the onions, celery, carrots, and garlic in the butter until the veggies soften and onions become translucent- about 10 minutes.
    • Add the next 5 ingredients and stir to coat the vegetables with all the herbs and spices.
    • Add the flour and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.
    • Whisk in the chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Once it is simmering whisk in the chicken base.
    • Add the frozen egg noodles and cooked chicken. Cook over medium- low heat for 20-25 minutes until the noodles are cooked through.
    • Turn the heat to low and add the vinegar, cook for an additional 5 minutes. Remove the bay leaf and serve.

    Notes:

    You can make this ahead… it is even better the next day!!!!! It will thicken in the fridge- you may need to add a little chicken stock when you are reheating. This recipe will serve 6-8 people.

      Just wondering, what does the apple cider vinegar do?

        Vinegar is actually a flavor enhancer, like salt. It just adds a little note to enhance all the other flavors.

      This looks a a flavorful soup. I have been using soup starter which is not available anymore.
      I like your name. Our daughter Susan was called Susie when young until her school teachers started to call her Suzy not her name she would say, now she is Susan.

      I forgot I had made this before. It cooked down so much that there was no stock left and the noodles were still chewy. Flavor is good, but not a fan of it not being a soup. Instead, it is chicken and chewy noodles.

        I agree. However, it is so tasty and I don’t mind that it’s like a casserole. You can always add more chicken broth.

      This sounds delicious but I haven’t made it yet since there are only two of us and it would be way too much, even with leftovers the next day, Would it be ok to freeze leftovers?

        You should definitely be able to freeze this! It should stay good in the freezer for up to 3 months.

          I love this recipe so much. How long can leftovers be refrigerated?

        • Susie Weinrich

          May 05, 2021 at 7:13 am

          I would say up to 5 days.

          Do you think if I wear to freeze first I shouldAdd the noodles at time to thaw and cook?

        • Susie Weinrich

          May 16, 2021 at 10:02 am

          That is probably what I would do! Since the noodles are frozen in the first place I wouldn’t want to cook them, refreeze, then cook again.
