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

Here are the ingredients you’ll need to make this easy soup recipe at home. See the bottom of the post for full details.

  • 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.

    Thanks a lot for such a lovely article and a detailed explanation of the spices and chicken soup. It was really helpful for my today’s meal.

  2. Michelle

    I’ve made this recipe before and it is delicious, but calling it a one pot recipe is deceptive. Two of the ingredients have to be cooked ahead of time.

  3. Fran Eaks

    I’ve been meaning to make this for a while–I finally made it tonight. Easy, fast, and delicious. Don’t put the lime juice and cilantro in until the end. very good.

  4. DD

    I cannot wait to make this amazing looking soup. What kind of noodles do you use? Also you mention a chili was used but it is not in the directions.

  5. Elisabeth S

    When you say “thin noodle”, can you give an example? I am having a hard time imagining this soup with angel hair pasta noodles. They seem like they wouldn’t soften up enough to give the right texture for chicken noodle soup.

  6. Aubree Stephens

    I made this last week for dinner. I am happy to say my husband approved!! IT was so nice because it was easy to make and tasted yummy.

  7. Naomi

    I’m going to make double batch. One to eat right away and one to freeze, so when someone in the house is sick I’ll have it ready!

  8. Jennifer @ Show Me the Yummy

    Did you read my mind today? It’s so cold and rainy and I am in dire need of hot, steamy, chicken noodle soup. I love the Mexican twist. Friday-Night-Mexican-Night every week 😉

  9. Lisa F.

    Mmm have to try this version. Here at homebi make what we call “sopita” and I fry the dry noodles in oil add the veggies and continue sautéing then add in the rest of ingredients. Also sometimes a can of tomato sauce to give it the red look. Soon good. But I will try this way also because I’m always up to trying new ideas! Thanks!

  10. Elizabeth

    Easy weeknight dinners are the best! Plus, Mexican food + soup + fall nights = yum! Thanks for the idea! 🙂
