Weeknight Chicken Noodle Soup

My Weeknight Chicken Noodle Soup makes the perfect dinner during these chilly months! Warm, quick to prepare and perfect for this time of year.

There’s something so nostalgic about preparing a giant pot of homemade chicken soup for the family. Easy dinner ideas are the best, especially when comfort food is involved! Not only is this great for weeknights, but it’s perfect for feeding a crowd too. This is an 5 quart dutch oven, you’re likely to have leftovers to share or enjoy later in the week.

How To Make Chicken Noodle Soup

I would like to recommend cutting your vegetables and cooking your chicken in advance. That’s the lengthiest part of making soup, so when you know you are going to prepare this recipe, cut your vegetables before hand. Using rotisserie chicken is a great option for the chicken. It’s flavorful and simple to add in. For more Picky Palate Dinner Recipes click HERE.

For the most part I used dried herbs for simplicity, however if you can get fresh parsley, it really adds such a freshness to your soup. You can also use whatever small pasta you’ve got in your pantry. I used Ditalini, however little shells or elbow or even broken up pieces of spaghetti noodles work great. Hope you enjoy this gorgeous chicken noodle soup recipe! My favorite!

What Do I Serve With Chicken Noodle Soup?

Chicken noodle soup is great on it’s own, but it’s also nice to serve it with a nice loaf of crusty bread and a green salad.
