kcalThis is truly a very easy homemade chicken noodle soup recipe. You can make it in a jiffy and it also tastes great.
I made it when I had a house full of children and not much on hand to eat. Moreover, we all know how wonderful soup is when you are not feeling well. Grand-ma truly knew best when she said that a bowl of homemade chicken noodle soup was good medicine.
All the kids loved this recipe for chicken noodle soup and I have made it many times since.
This homemade chicken noodle soup recipe is great if you have chicken leftovers. I also transform this chicken noodle soup recipe into a turkey soup after the holidays when we have lots of turkey leftovers.
I do not profess to be the best cook and you may be the owner of the best chicken noodle soup ever. If that is the case, would you share with us? I also welcome your tips, comments and reviews.
Tip: I use many powdered spices including broth powder.
Frontier’s broth powder is meatless and without any chemicals – i.e. MSG, etc. – and that means a lot to me. Plus it tastes great.
Frontier has awesome spices. I even buy my black pepper from them. Once you taste their spices you will never go back.
And if you buy in bulk, they are quite economical!

Ingredients
2 cups chicken meat, cubed or shredded (You may also use some leftover turkey.)
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 garlic cloves or 1 tablespoon dried minced garlic
1 large onion – chopped
1 tablespoon dried parsley or about 1/4 teaspoon of fresh
2 medium carrots – sliced
2 celery ribs – sliced
1 teaspoon dried thyme or 4 fresh sprigs
1 bay leaf
2 quarts chicken broth – I make mine with Frontier broth powder
230 g (8 oz) egg noodles or 230 g (8 oz) of Vermicelli noodles
Sea salt and pepper to taste
Optional – 1/2 cup of dry white wine.
Directions
- Saute the onion, the garlic, the carrot and the celery in the olive oil for about 5 minutes. If you are using dried garlic: omit the garlic at this point.
- If you are using white wine: add now and bring to a boil.
- Add the broth, the spices and the chicken (or turkey). If you are using dried garlic: use it now. Bring to a boil. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the noodles – or vermicelli – and simmer for about 5 minutes.
- This soup will taste even better once reheated the next day.
