Easy Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe

[@turquoise_sky]

As a nurse I can tell you another reason why broth-based soups like chicken noodle are good when you’re sick is because the salty broth helps reduce inflammation in the throat by pulling fluid out from the inflamed tissue (same reason you’re told to gargle with salt water).

[@fs7408]

thanks for sharing that

[@calyodelphi124]

My own personal theory of why nutritious meals help you to get over sickness: Your body _needs_ nutrients--proteins especially--when you're sick so that your immune system can get all the resources it needs to do its job to the max. Starve a cold? BAH! Sickness is not a time for dieting! Stuff your face with all three American food groups: proteins, carbs, and fat! Your immune system will thank you! 😁

[@pennyc11]

Yes, it helps break up phlegm.

[@Speedyreedy1218]

So sodium doesn't cause inflammation?😮

THANK YOU SO MUCH! My boyfriend was sick and I've never made chicken soup but I wanted to treat him. It ended up with tons of flavor and he really liked it ❤

[@goofyleen80]

Making this chicken noodle soup again because it's the best and using this recipe to teach my ten-year-old daughter to cook as well. She's very excited 😊 to be helping cook in the kitchen. Thanks again for your recipe and know that this Mama and daughter from Texas are very thrilled to be cooking a fantastic recipe together ❤️.

[@marjoried.9277]

Love your soup. The only thing I do different is cook the noodles aldente seperate, Add them to the bowl and ladle soup over the top. I always store them separately. That way U never get mushy noodles

[@noratameu8674]

Welcome 🌹

[@beckybeus225]

Hmmm. I like that idea. I hate the mushy noodles, but with two of us, we always have left overs. I like adding the soup to the precooked, perfect noodles. Thank you!

I'm so glad you advised everyone to add lemon. I make an incredible chicken noodle soup and my secret is the fresh lemon juice! I love it so much, I also squeeze extra in my bowl after serving! Learned some new tricks from you today that I'll be trying! Thanks for the video

[@alexisbraseas9152]

Same I always use lemon juice as my last step but I like putting some tomato juice on my chicken noddle

[@jiffjiffernson7292]

Hey Jenna - try some leeks in your chicken soup and always in stuffing - with a combo of olive oil and butter- amazing. Also substitute marjoram for oregano. Thought you would be someone who would appreciate the options. Organic lemons are yum!

I'm making this for my daughter who is sick right now. I usually just throw it together myself but I've been having so much success with your recipes, that I thought I'd try yours and it is so flavourful! I have never failed one of your recipes. Thank you for sharing. 😊

[@jocelynmartinez550]

Made this for dinner tonight since the weather in Texas is everywhere, and it was a hit ! Instead of 8 cups of chicken broth, I did 4 c. chicken broth and 4 c. bone broth. I didn't have egg noodles so I used garden rotini noodles. This is my 2nd recipe I've made from your channel that my family loves. I'm a new subscriber, so I can't wait to try out some more 🤗

[@JessJoanne]

Just finished making this. I happened to defrost 3 chicken breasts I had already cooked in onion, fresh garlic of course, paprika, pepper, and a little turmeric. Looked for a new soup recipe and this popped up. Perfect amount of chicken. I didn't have any bone broth. Something I started making this last year. So all chicken broth. 8 cups didn't look like near enough, so I added 4 more cups. Used just about 2 1/2 cups egg noodles. Happened to have some frozen mixed peas, lima beans, carrots and peas. Worked perfectly with my whole onion and 7 cloves of garlic. Used 2 bay leaves too. Toward the end, I added a dash of basil and dillweed along with a little salt and a lot of pepper. Best I've made yet. I bet rotini noodles were great in yours!

[@Prettyrose197]

I just made it for my children today, and they just love it, I cooked the whole chicken apart, and later use the same chicken and chicken broth for the soup. Simply delicious ❤❤❤

[@nancyjohnson5810]

Yes, I agree that spice drawer was the cat's meow! I think this recipe is amazing and I am a shredder of the chicken myself also. Lastly what would bring this up a notch to even be more amazing is a cup or 2 of heavy cream! I got that tip from another famous chef on blogger land! I tried it before and after and oh my did it ever raise it up a notch. Thank you again for another amazing video.

[@pammatthews9743]

Rotisserie chicken works wonderful for chicken soup, and I like using the baby carrots. I leave the celery out, because my family doesn’t like it. But it’s still wonderful when you’re not feeling well

[@harlowitter3060]

I love rotisserie chicken! It has such flavor and I can imagine it tasting extra good in chicken soup 😋

[@surreal1st_]

Do you cut the baby carrots in half or do you leave them whole?

[@amyspeers8012]

I make homemade soup every week. I love soup, but I am allergic to celery. Making my own soup allows me to add what I want. I like cubed chicken in soup because of texture. I do add lemon to some of my soups and love the freshness it gives. This week, I making courgette soup on Thursday….cause it’s a green soup!

trying this right now! thank you for a simple recipe that doesn't involve 60,000 unnecessary ingredients, chicken noodle soup should not have to be a complicated thing! I have been really enjoying cooking for the past year or so, just something I got into late in life but really really enjoy. I find that I really love the more basic recipes because the are foolproof and give me a base dish that I can then modify and build on to make it my own if I choose.EDIT: I made it and it came out excellent! this will now be on regular circulation around here! thanks again for posting.

I love Chicken soup and I always make my mum's chicken soup, it is so comforting. I use a whole chicken but once it is cooked I half it and put one half in the fridge to make a rice dish with it, the next day. I cook the noodles extra and add them in the plate and then the soup. Your soup looks beautiful.

[@marthawood3367]

Chicken soup is SO classic and personal! I use lemon zest as well, and sometimes leeks, parsnips, or tunips; whatever looks good in the produce aisle. This time of year on the East coast, I forage for Ramp (sometimes called spring onion), a wild leafy onion flavored green and add it to the soup. Adds a delicate onion flavor to die for!

[@Jeffffrey0902]

I adore this soup. I usually start by making stock with chicken frames, which still have their breasts on here in Hong Kong. Bone-in skin-on drumettes or drumsticks work as well; just make sure you chop everything in the middle so the bone marrow flavours the soup. Then I pull out all the meat and throw it back in just before serving. I also like to spice it up with thyme, oregano, sage, rosemary and nutmeg, i.e. chicken seasoning (which isn't easy to find here). Parmesan cheese or cream adds flavour and richness, but lemon juice and lemon zest do sound delicious and I'm going to give them a try.

I hand shred my chicken for chicken soup. I use big, but not jumbo pasta shells for the noodles. But unless I'm making it for a lot of people I never cook the shells in the soup. I leave it separate so they never become mushy. Lastly I make a Pico de Gallo, and top the soup off with that. It adds a little kick which feels good when you aren't feeling well, as well as vitamin C.

Awesome, I've never seen what I like to call "American-style" chicken noodle soup served with lemon. I kinda grew up eating this style of chicken noodle from cans or school lunches, or even the salty Lipton packets with thin short noodles. Yet I used to doctor the latter up with lemon juice and a boiled egg lol. The other form of sicky day chicken soup was made by my parents in a nice, garlicky rice porridge/ congee, with plenty of chicken, ginger, and of course lemon juice. Lemon is one of chicken's best friends, apart from garlic and salt. 😂 Definitely looking forward to making a real homemade chicken noodle soup myself.
