What’s in This Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe?
The only good thing about being sick is having the perfect excuse to make this easy chicken noodle soup recipe!
Veggies: We love our soup loaded with celery, carrots, and onions! Garlic: Fresh garlic adds an earthy flavor to the soup. Chicken Broth: Forms the base of the soup. We prefer low-sodium. Spices: Ground black pepper, kosher salt, dried thyme, rosemary, sage, and a bay leaf help to infuse this soup with rich herbal flavor. Noodles: We like egg noodles for their richness, but you can use any kind of pasta you like. Chicken: Use shredded cooked chicken for this recipe. You can cook up 2 chicken breasts, or use a rotisserie chicken from the store.

This recipe is easy to customize: add more or less vegetables depending on your preference. Popular additions include corn, peas, or seasonal vegetables.
How to Store and Reheat
Once cooled to room temperature, any leftover homemade chicken noodle soup you have can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. Reheat using your stovetop or in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time until warmed through.
How to Freeze
Allow the soup to cool completely and store it in a freezer-safe container for 2-3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge, or over medium heat on the stove. If using store-bought noodles undercook the noodles before freezing the soup, to avoid them getting soggy upon reheating.
