Few things compare to a bowl of homemade chicken noodle soup. It\u2019s pure comfort food, especially on sick days<\/a> or cold nights. The best bowls feature tender chicken and vegetables, a flavorful broth, and chewy egg noodles. Here\u2019s how to make chicken noodle soup that captures all those elements.<\/p>\n Egg noodles are the best choice for chicken noodle soup. These flat, wide noodles have a rich flavor and a slightly chewy texture. Other dried pastas also work in this soup, especially smaller pasta shapes<\/a> like farfalle and elbow macaroni. If you use a long-strand pasta like spaghetti or fettuccine, break the noodles into bite-sized pieces before you cook them. The soup will be hard to eat if the noodles don\u2019t fit on a spoon!<\/p>\n Using a rotisserie chicken is a great shortcut for most chicken soup recipes<\/a>. That said, soups made with precooked chicken don’t have the same depth as those which start out with uncooked meat. With precooked chicken, you’ll miss out on two important steps: browning the chicken and simmering the chicken bones. You can give the soup a boost by using the chicken carcass to make homemade broth. If the soup is still missing something, stir in 1 tablespoon chicken bouillon granules.<\/p>\n When you’re ready to dig deeper into the soul-warming world of chicken soups, try our creamy chicken noodle soup<\/a>, Instant Pot chicken noodle soup<\/a> and slow-cooker chicken noodle soup<\/a>.<\/p>\n Pat the chicken dry with paper towels, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. In a 6-quart stockpot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in batches, cooking until dark golden brown, three to four minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot. When all the chicken is browned, discard all but 2 tablespoons drippings.<\/p>\n Add the onion to the remaining drippings. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until tender, four to five minutes. Add the garlic, and cook for one minute longer.<\/p>\n Add the broth to the pot. As you bring the broth to a boil, stir to loosen any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.<\/p>\n Return the chicken to the pot. Add the celery, carrots, bay leaves and thyme. Reduce the heat, and simmer, covered, until chicken is tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate, and set aside.<\/p>\n Remove the soup from the heat, and add the noodles. Let stand, covered, until the noodles are tender, 20 to 22 minutes.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em> Prepare the noodles separately if you\u2019re making chicken noodle soup ahead of time, or if there\u2019s a chance you\u2019ll end up with leftovers. The noodles will absorb liquid as they sit in the soup, so they’ll lose their chewy texture and become mushy over time.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, when the chicken is cool enough to handle, remove the meat from the bones. Discard the bones. Shred the meat into bite-sized pieces.<\/p>\n When the noodles are tender, return the shredded meat to the stockpot. Discard the bay leaves, and stir in the parsley and lemon juice. If desired, adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em> The chicken bones still have a lot of life to give! Save them, and them in your next batch of homemade chicken stock<\/a>.<\/p>\n Store leftover chicken noodle soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days. If possible, store the noodles separately so they don\u2019t absorb liquid from the soup. To reheat, simmer the soup gently on the stovetop. Once hot, add the noodles and cook as directed.<\/p>\n You can freeze chicken noodle soup, but it\u2019s best to freeze the noodles separately. It is possible to freeze spaghetti noodles<\/a> and other cooked pastas, but it needs to be treated carefully so it doesn\u2019t become mushy.<\/p>\n Let the soup cool completely. Transfer it to an airtight container, and freeze for up to three months. Thaw the soup overnight in the refrigerator, and reheat as directed.<\/p>\n We use chicken thighs because they\u2019re tender and flavorful, but you can use bone-in chicken breasts if desired. It’s a leaner meat that can dry out more quickly, so pay attention to the chicken\u2019s internal temperature<\/a>. Remove the chicken from the soup when the breasts reach 165\u00b0F.<\/p>\n Chicken will stay tender if it’s not overcooked. Make sure to remove the chicken thighs from the broth when they’re cooked through. Wait to add the shredded chicken back to the soup until the noodles are finished cooking. If you decide to substitute chicken breasts, try velveting your chicken<\/a> to give it extra tenderness.<\/p>\n Chicken noodle soup has a reputation for being healthy, but “healthy” can mean different things to different people. This feel-good soup contains lean protein and fresh vegetables. And a brothy soup might help you stay hydrated when you’re feeling sick. However, chicken noodle soup may contain a lot of sodium. Check the ingredients label if you’re using store-bought broth, and consider low-sodium or no-sodium options.<\/p>\n We recommend serving this soup with fluffy biscuits<\/a> or crusty bread. Check out our best bread recipes<\/a> if you\u2019re ready to make a loaf from scratch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" You don,\u00c4\u00f4t need a whole chicken to make homemade chicken noodle soup.

How do you keep chicken tender?<\/h3> \r\nTo prevent your chicken from drying out, remove it from the broth when tender. Let cool, shred and set aside while you finish making your soup.

Can I make this soup with chicken breasts?<\/h3> \r\nYes! If you prefer, replace the chicken thighs with bone-in chicken breasts. Once they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees, set the chicken on a plate, let cool and shred. Use up the rest of your chicken breasts with these easy chicken breast recipes<\/a>.\r\n\r\n
