Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe
Nothing like a homemade chicken noodle soup! I really do love developing new simple weeknight dinner recipes. It’s so easy to get in a rut making the same dinners week after week. I hope that I can bring some new ideas into your kitchen.
I had this big pot of soup waiting for the boys after school this week and they devoured it…so did their friends 🙂 You won’t have a sink full of dishes either, just the one pot. Yippee! Hope you enjoy friends, be sure to let me know how you liked it!

What You’ll Need For Chicken Noodle Soup
- extra virgin olive oil– You’ll use olive oil to saute the soup vegetables.
- onion– White onion is great, finely chop before adding to soup.
- carrots– Wash and peel carrots before dicing.
- celery– Wash and gently dry celery before dicing. Dice celery, carrots and onion the same size so they cook the same time.
- garlic– Use fresh garlic and mince yourself or use the minced garlic that you can find in little jars near the produce section of the grocery store.
- chicken broth– Look for reduced sodium chicken broth.
- cooked shredded chicken– Rotisserie chicken is a good option for quick usage.
- thin noodles cooked– Thin spaghetti noodles work great here.
- kosher salt– Kosher salt is a coarse salt commonly used in cooking and baking.
- freshly ground black pepper– For best tasting results use fresh cracked black pepper.
- garlic salt– Lawry’s is my pick for best garlic salt.
- ground cumin– Cumin adds a touch of smoky Mexican flavor to the soup.
- salsa verde– Use your favorite prepared salsa verde.
- lime juice– Lime juice adds freshness to the soup.
- fresh cilantro– Fresh chopped cilantro adds the perfect freshness to the soup.
