Good Monday to you! Hope everyone had a nice weekend 🙂
I am in love with this nice chunky bowl of Chicken Noodle Soup! I know I make a lot of soups and say I love all of them, but this one really is one of my newest favorites. You’ll have to scroll down and look at the noodles I picked up at Whole Foods for this recipe. I’ve never seen them before, but if you can get your hands on them, give them a try, you’ll love it! Tastes like it’s right out of a cafe.
In these winter months, even though it’s not all that cold here in CA, there’s nothing I like better to eat than a nice bowl of hot soup, hope you’ll all enjoy my latest recipe. We at the entire pot in just a few days. Enjoy 🙂
Found these great noodles @ Whole Foods, they were in the Kosher section. Really were awesome in this soup. Any old small noodle will work if you can’t find these. I really liked the stir fry noodles too.

Chunky Chicken Noodle and Vegetable Soup
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium white onion finely chopped
- 5 stalks of celery chopped
- 4 large carrots peeled and sliced
- 1 cup sweet peppers chopped
- 1 zucchini chopped 1/2 inch pieces
- 1 yellow squash chopped 1/2 inch pieces
- 1 1/2 cups eggplant chopped 1/2 inch pieces
- 5 cloves fresh garlic minced
- 48 oz chicken broth I used 1 full 32 oz size and 1/2 of another
- 9 oz small noodles of choice
- 1 tablespoon coarse Dijon Mustard
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce doesn't make it spicy, just gives a nice flavor
- 2 large chicken breasts cooked and shredded (lightly seasoned with salt and pepper)
- 1 cup fresh parsley finely chopped
- pinches of Kosher salt fresh ground black pepper and Lawry's Garlic Salt to TASTE (this differs for everyone, just season until you like it)
Instructions
- Place oil into a large dutch oven over medium heat. When hot, saute the onion, celery, carrots, sweet peppers, zucchini, yellow squash, and eggplant. Cook and stir until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in fresh garlic; mix in for 30 seconds then stir in the broth. Increase heat until the soup just starts to boil. Stir in noodles and cook for 7-10 minutes or until noodles are cooked through, al dente. Stir in dijon mustard, hot sauce, chicken, parsley, and seasonings to taste. Reduce heat to low and simmer until ready to serve.

Have a great new week! Come back soon for more healthy eating 🙂
I would love a bowl of this on a chilly evening. Soup with lots of veggies definitely appeal to me.
Sometimes there’s nothing better than homemade chunky chicken noodle soup!
Mmm, I love a good healthy soup!
Interesting recipe with the Dijon Mustard!
I love all of the veggies in there!
I’m sure this soup will bemy favorite. I love chicken and noodle soup, but the vegetables in this soup will give a wonderful flavor to my usual chicken soup. Perfect for winter days!
made this yesterday and we LOVED it!!.. my boyfriend finished it off today.. YUMM-O!!.. can’t wait for the stew!!..
Well…it’s plenty cold here in the Northeast these days for soup 7 nights a week. Nothing like a nice hot bowl of chicken soup loaded with vegetables to warm the soul…and the tummy!
I love the step by step photos, Jenny. Wish we had a Whole Foods around here….no such luck-those noodles look like the PERFECT addition to soup of all kinds. I can’t wait to try this one….
I just made this soup this afternoon….are rare cold Southern CA day:-) It is off the hook amazing!! I couldn’t get the noodles you posted but found the same type of thin noodles in the Kosher isle of the grocery store. These noodles (along with all the veggies) make the soup! OMG, soooo good. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing cooking.
It looks fantastic. Comfort food.
I love your site! And this soup is so very enticing! Fabulous pictures and directions!
this looks fabulous -especially on a rainy day like today! Totally Biggest Loser friendly too!! 🙂
Looks amazing! Will definitely put this one on the list.
I made this for dinner tonight! It was delicious! I didn’t have squash or eggplant, so I added mushrooms, green & red peppers, and extra zuchinni. I also used spaghetti noodles. My whole family loved it.. even my pickiest eater ate the noodles out of the broth. Thanks!
I am really loving all the super soup recipes the bloggers are coming up with this month. Your chicken noodle soup is chock full of goodies! Delicious! And super photos!
I love the addition of all those different veggies!! I have always bulked up my soups with veggies but didn’t dare to mess with the celery/carrot/onion trio on chicken noodle soup. But yours looks wonderful–will try!
your soup looks delicious. i made a vegetable soup last week and it was so warming and good! i’m going to try some of your other recipes, too!
this is perfect soup weather! I love homemade chicken noodle soup! i always leave the noodles separate though. I find that they tend to soak up the broth and get mushy for leftovers if i leave them in the soup. i bet cooking them in the soup gives them great flavor though!
The noodles look great! Making chicken noodle tomorrow with a leftover roasted chicken I have. Love the extra veggies!
This looks so good today with the cold weather!!! What a yummy comfort food 🙂
Wow, just walking in the door from work, on a cold, cold Chicago winter night, what better recipe to find. Perfect. It looks awesome. Thanks.
DELISH DELISH oh’ SO DELISH… MAJOR COMFORT FOOD, THANKS FOR POSTING!
MMMMMmmmmmmmmmm. I love several things about this recipe. First, I love the idea of adding Zucchini. Second, I love the thin noodles (this way the soup isn’t on noodle overload). Third, I like how you have used Dijon Mustard. I’ve never added Dijon mustard to my chicken noodle soup but it is genius. Thanks for the inspiration!

This looks so warm and comforting. I love chicken noodle soup recipes. However I’m not a huge fan of store bought broths. Which one is your favorite?
This looks great! I want some right now.
This is off the hook good! I love it!
Thanks for the recipe. It looks so yummy. Great photos 🙂
Love all the extra veggies in your chicken soup. I’m going to have to look for those little noodles.
I love all of the extra veggies!
I love chicken noodle soup and this looks so delicious with all the veggies.
Looks delicious…especially for New England winters over here 🙂
This looks fantastic! I’ll have to try this, thanks!

Hi there! I know this is somewhat off-topic but I neeedd to ask. Does operating a well-established blog like yours take a large amount of work? I’m brand new to operating a blog however I do write in my diary on a daily basis. I’d like to start a blog so I will be able to share my experience and thoughts online. Please let me know if you have any suggestions or tips for new aspiring blog owners. Thankyou!
It’s definitely soup weather! Chicken noodle is one of my favorites!!
I’m not a fan of veggies, but eating them in soup is one of the only ways I can get them in!!
