The Easiest Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup

If you need a recipe for The Easiest Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup, this is it! Perfect for serving a big crowd, or for reheating as leftovers.

Let me start with saying this recipe makes a massive amount of soup.  It’s perfect for serving a crowd, or for reheating as leftovers throughout the week.

Let’s get right to it!

What you need:
2lbs Cooked Chicken Breasts, cubed.
2 lbs Carrots, diced
1 pkg of Celery, diced
1 box of Chicken Broth (48oz)
2 pkgs Noodles
1/2 bag of Coleslaw (optional- see note at the bottom of this post)
Water

What to do:
I cook the chicken and cube it ahead of time, sometimes even a day before I make the soup.  It’s just nice to have this step out of the way when it’s time for actually making and assembling dinner.  Okay really, I usually cook the chicken, and Mr. Awesome cubes it for me.  He’s crazy helpful like that (most of the time)!

I like to cook veggies in the chicken broth, and boil the noodles separately.  I can have better control over the noodles when they’re in their own pot.

Once the veggies are tender I add in the cubed chicken.
Now is the time to add water to your broth if you’d like (I ended up adding about 4 cups today). You could just use more broth, but that can also make it a little too salty.

I also put in a few shakes of garlic and parsley, or whatever I feel like grabbing out of the spice cabinet.  Thank goodness this is such a forgiving recipe, you can’t mess it up.  I’m sure of it!

To serve the soup I put a scoop of cooked noodles in the bottom of a bowl and ladle in the broth with chicken and veggies over the top.

I prefer not to put the noodles in the soup pot, even to store the leftovers.  This way they don’t get mushy, and it gives me the option to serve the noodles separately at our next meal.  I’m likely to serve the noodles with a jar of spaghetti or alfredo sauce, because sometimes I like cooking from scratch and baking my own bread, and other times I just want to boil noodles and smoother them in a jar of ready-made sauce.  Life is all about finding the balance, my friends.

Notes:
The bag of coleslaw is just shredded cabbage and a bit of carrots, it’s totally up to you if you want to add this. I think it adds a little nutrient boost, more texture, and a good flavor.

Additional Note: If you aren’t a pasta lover, or are watching your carbs, you can use less water, and skip the noodles all together.  The soup will still taste amazing, I promise!  This is actually the way I prefer to eat it, I suppose this is more of a chicken veggie soup. Yum!

 

Enjoy!

Hey Friend! I am truly so glad that you’re here today!

At A Slightly Better Wife, I share about faith, homemaking, homeschooling, and marriage—along with my passion for creating a non-toxic, intentional home. Life isn’t about perfection, but I believe in making small, meaningful choices each day to do things slightly better than before.

My love for simple living and homemaking was deeply shaped by my grandparents. I have the best childhood memories of being in the kitchen with my Grandma Edna, learning the beauty of home-cooked meals and a well-tended home. My Grandpa Link’s storytelling and wisdom instilled in me the value of faith, family, and slowing down to listen during the little moments that make life rich. Their influence is woven into who I am today and I’m so grateful for that.

I’m a wife, a momma of 5, and a homemaker at heart. My husband and I met young, just days after my 18th birthday, and we quickly (like within a week) knew that forever was in our plans.

Together, we built our home on the edge of town, where we’re raising and homeschooling our children while embracing a simple, purposeful life in the city.

Here, you’ll find encouragement for your marriage, practical tips for homemaking, and inspiration to cultivate a home filled with faith and love. Whether you’re looking for a recipe, a fresh perspective, or just a place to feel understood, I hope you’ll stay awhile and explore.

Let’s pursue slightly better together!
