After more than 20 years of cooking for my family, this is the soup I make whenever someone is sick or needs a warm, comforting meal. With 8 kids, I make it often throughout fall and winter, and it always disappears quickly.

After developing over 150 soup recipes in 14 years of professionally writing recipes I know that chicken noodle soup is the one every home cook needs a reliable version of — and this is mine.

If you love easy homemade soup recipes like this one you will also love our Lasagna Soup, Crockpot Chicken Noodle Soup, and 7 Can Taco Soup. They are all budget-friendly, made with simple ingredients, and the kind of warm comforting dinners your family will request all fall and winter long.

Why Homemade Soup Beats the Can

Homemade chicken noodle soup tastes better than canned soup for three simple reasons. Fresh vegetables cooked in broth to create a deeper flavor, real shredded chicken adds a tender texture, and herbs give the broth a rich, homemade taste.

It’s ready in just 45 minutes, but every bowl tastes like it’s been simmering since morning — thank the sautéed vegetables and fresh herbs for that.

Ingredients

Ingredients for recipe: chicken broth, carrots, bay leaves, chicken breasts, minced garlic, egg noodles, onion, dried thyme, salt and pepper.
  • Boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs — chicken breasts give a leaner result while thighs stay slightly more tender and juicy after simmering. Both work beautifully. Leftover rotisserie chicken is an excellent shortcut — shred and add in the last 5 minutes of cooking
  • Carrots — sliced into rounds for the classic chicken noodle soup look. Diced carrots cook faster if you prefer a shorter cook time
  • Celery — adds a subtle savory depth and classic flavor to the broth. Do not skip — celery is one of the foundational flavors of authentic chicken noodle soup
  • Onion — Yellow onion gives the most classic flavor
  • Minced garlic — adds savory depth to the broth. Fresh minced gives the best result
  • Low sodium chicken broth — the base of the soup. Low sodium gives you more control over the final saltiness. For extra depth, stir in a teaspoon of Better Than Bouillon along with the broth. Homemade chicken stock gives an even richer result if you have it — see our How to Make Chicken Stock or Crock Pot Chicken Stock (a great way to use up a rotisserie chicken carcass) for the homemade version.
  • Dried thyme — the classic herb that gives chicken noodle soup its signature comforting flavor
  • Salt and pepper — always taste before serving and adjust — the saltiness of different broth brands varies significantly
  • Egg noodles — the classic noodle choice for chicken noodle soup. Wide egg noodles give the heartiest most satisfying result. Cook separately and add to bowls for the best leftover results. Need it gluten-free? Swap in your favorite gluten-free egg noodles or pasta — just check the package for cook time, since gluten-free noodles often cook faster and go mushy quicker than regular egg noodles.

How to Make Chicken Noodle Soup

A large pot with broth, chopped onions, and sliced celery sits on a white marble surface next to a white towel with red and green stripes.

Step 1 – Add the chicken breasts, chicken broth, celery, carrots and onions to a large stock pot or dutch oven. Bring the mixture to a boil. Cook until the chicken is cooked through (chicken will be completely white when cooked) and reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.

A white plate with shredded chicken rests on a marble surface, accompanied by two forks.

Step 2 – This generally takes approximately 20-30 minutes depending on the size and quantity of the chicken breasts that you are cooking. Remove the chicken, shred and stir it back into the stock pot.

Step 3 – Stir in thyme leaves, minced garlic, salt, pepper, bay leaves and water.

A pot of with egg noodles, vegetables, and savory broth sits on a white surface next to a striped kitchen towel. A wooden spoon rests inside the pot.

Step 4 – Bring the mixture back to a boil and stir in the egg noodles.

Step 5 – Cook over medium-high for about 8-10 minutes until the noodles are tender and cooked through.

Step 6 – Remove the bay leaves. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy!

Tips for Success

  • Sauté the vegetables first. Cooking the carrots celery and onion in butter before adding the broth builds the flavor foundation of the soup — skipping this step gives you a flatter less developed broth
  • Cook noodles separately. This is the single most important tip for leftovers — noodles stored in the broth overnight absorb all the liquid and become soft and mushy. Add noodles to individual bowls at serving time
  • Simmer low and slow. A hard boil makes the chicken tough and the broth cloudy — keep it at a gentle simmer for the most tender chicken and the clearest most flavorful broth
  • Use a hand mixer for shredding. Place cooked chicken in a large bowl and use a hand mixer on low for 15–20 seconds — the fastest and easiest way to shred a large batch perfectly
  • Taste before serving. Always taste the finished broth before serving — different chicken broth brands have very different sodium levels and a pinch of salt at the end can make a significant difference

Variations and Substitutions

  • Use rotisserie chicken as a shortcut — shred and add in the last 5 minutes to heat through
  • Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice right before serving for a bright finish that elevates the whole bowl
  • Swap egg noodles for rice, orzo, or any small pasta
  • Add baby spinach or kale in the last 2 minutes of cooking for extra nutrition
  • Make it creamy — stir in ½ cup of heavy cream in the last 5 minutes for a creamy chicken noodle soup
  • Use homemade chicken stock instead of store-bought for an even richer more flavorful broth
  • Want a thicker soup? Whisk 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water until smooth, then stir it into the simmering soup during the last few minutes of cooking. Start with half and let it simmer a minute before adding more — it thickens fast.

What to Eat with Chicken Noodle Soup

We love to serve this soup with crackers or warm bread like Easy Homemade Dinner Rolls Recipe or these Homemade Hawaiian rolls — perfect for dipping into the flavorful broth.

Leftover Makeover Ideas

Got extra broth and shredded chicken left over? Don’t just reheat it the same way twice.

  • Chicken pot pie filling: Simmer the leftover soup (minus noodles) until slightly thickened, pour into a baking dish, and top with biscuits or pie crust for a completely different dinner.
  • Chicken and rice bowl: Ladle the broth and chicken over cooked rice instead of noodles for a lighter, faster second meal.
  • Soup dumplings: Drop biscuit dough or dumplings directly into the reheated broth for a heartier, stretched-further version that feeds a few more mouths.

Storage and Freezer Instructions

Refrigerator

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.

Freezer

  • Freeze the soup base without the noodles for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat on the stovetop. Add freshly cooked noodles after reheating.

Reheating

  • Reheat on the stovetop over medium heat stirring occasionally — add a splash of chicken broth if the soup has thickened. Cook fresh noodles and add to bowls right before serving

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my chicken noodle soup broth cloudy?

The soup was boiled too hard — always keep it at a gentle simmer rather than a rolling boil for a clear golden broth.

Why are my leftover noodles mushy?

If you have a problem with your noodles being mushy, then I would recommend cooking them separately. Then when you are ready to serve this soup, place a serving of the noodles in a bowl and top with the soup mixture.

Can I Make in the Slow Cooker?

Yes — add the chicken, broth, carrots, celery, and onion to the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours. Shred the chicken, stir it back in, and add cooked noodles just before serving so they don’t get mushy. For a fully separate slow cooker method, see our Crock Pot Chicken Noodle Soup.

Can I use rotisserie chicken?

Yes — shred the meat and add it in the last 5 minutes of cooking to heat through. It is the fastest shortcut for this recipe.

Do You Cook Noodles Separately?

You can cook the noodles in the soup or you can cook them separately. I like to make things easy and make the noodles while cooking the soup.

Can I double this recipe?

Yes — just make sure your pot holds at least 10-12 quarts. Cook times stay about the same for the chicken and noodles; you’re just working with more broth. If you’re doubling for a crowd, cook the noodles in a separate pot rather than in the soup so they don’t turn the broth starchy.

    I love your recipes but have been meaning to ask you this for a long time: why do you always SHRED the chicken in just about every recipe? I find it better when the chicken is cut in small chunks in most recipes, and shredded in just a few others. Just wondering, but please keep the recipes coming!

    My son had a late summer cold with lots of congestion and I think this soup was better than any over the counter medication. it tastes incredible and so simple to make and I love that it is so basic and I don’t need any special ingredients.

  12. Matt says:

    Just a note on the video, it jumps right after adding celery and carrots to the pot like a big chunk is missing in the video where you add the liquid/stock, etc…

    1. Carrie Barnard says:

      Oh thank you Matt! We’ll double check the video – Thank you!

  13. Kristen says:

    5 stars
    For the past 3 years. I have been making this recipe! It is our “go to” recipe for chicken noodle soup! I add more pepper and salt and noodles because I love pasta, but we love it!

  14. Bentley says:

    5 stars
    I made this for my family, but used a different noodle. It was so good.

  15. Darla says:

    Everyone loved it! The only changes that I made were that I sautéed the veggies first and used gf tortellini!

  16. Ellen Doyle says:

    Can I use chopped potatoes instead of the noodles?

    1. Carrie Barnard says:

      Yes, I think that would be delicious in this recipe.

  17. Susan Dorries says:

    This was the best chicken noodle soup recipe I’ve ever tried! Perfect seasoning and just the right ratio of vegetables, chicken, noodles and broth. I’ll be making this over and over again! Thank you!

  18. Shirelene says:

    5 stars
    Delicious

  19. Megan Haertel says:

    Can I use Reames frozen egg noodles? If so how would I use them in this recipe

    1. Carrie Barnard says:

      Yes, you can – just add them in instead of the egg noodles and cook based on the package instructions for the cooking time. You may need to add in more chicken broth or water as these soak up more liquid as they cook.

  20. Heather Newcomb says:

    5 stars
    I cook chicken separately then add at the end. I also cook the carrots, celery and onion first in skillet to get that flavor going. Noodles I cook separately then add to bowls individually. This prevents noodles from sucking up all that broth.

    1. Carrie Barnard says:

      Great tips Heather – Thank you for sharing!

  21. Jalayna says:

    If I use rotisserie chicken when do I add it in? At the end?

    1. Carrie Barnard says:

      If you use rotisserie chicken, I recommend stirring that into the pot with the noodles.

  22. Reagan says:

    Making this for the 5th time! My family LOVES this recipe and I love how easy it is to get that home cooked flavor pretty quickly!

  27. Lindsey says:

    You put the raw chicken in and let it cook, and then take it out and shred it?

    1. Carrie Barnard says:

      I use pre-cooked already shredded chicken for this recipe, so it’s already cooked and shredded when added to the pot.

  28. Amanda Martin says:

    Best chicken noodle soup I’ve ever tasted!
    The veggie and spice ratios are perfect!
    This will be a weekly dinner through winter!
    Thank you!!!

  32. Krista V says:

    This chicken noodle soup is perfect. We didn’t have celery, so I omitted and added more onions and carrots and it was a win! My five and seven-year-old ate it for lunch and dinner and asked for it and their lunch boxes tomorrow. Literally my only complaint is the number of advertisements on the page make it really difficult to read the step-by-step instructions.

  37. Lisa Kowal says:

    Amazing flavor for such an easy soup recipe! I made this but basically doubled it. Everyone loved it, even my picky son. It’s not the same as homade, that is true, but so much better than anything canned. This soup deserves to stand on its own and i will be making this often. Thank you so much!

    1. Carrie Barnard says:

      Thank you Lisa!

  38. Karen says:

    This recipe calls for minced garlic. Do I add with the carrots, celery & onion mixture? It don’t say

    5 stars
    I love this soup recipe. My husband had surgery and couldn’t eat a whole lot of things but he could have chicken noodle soup but the canned stuff is not ideal. So I found this recipe and made it for him. I added small golden potatoes. I cut them into four’s and added them with the other veggies before I added the broth and I had to add some cooking time on to it. I also used a rotisserie chicken and this turned out great. Thank you for this awesome recipe.

  43. Dani says:

    5 stars
    Amazing!!!!! don’t forget it is a quick recipe so it isn’t gonna taste like chicken noodles that cooks all day

    My son just learned how to make his own noodles at school so we made turkey and noodle soup today with the left over turkey and it was delicious

  45. jadie Thomas-Floyd says:

    My family and i serve chicken noodle soup with homemade beer bread and we add homemade or a can of cream of chicken soup and onion.

  46. Hannah Martin says:

    I’m going to make batches and freeze this for when I have our baby #2! I like to add making some quick biscuits from scratch for my hubby!

  47. Lorena says:

    I like to order some fresh ginger to the broth and serve with favorite homemade rolls.

  48. Neil Cervenan says:

    Favorite soup served with crackers and bread, either biscuits or bread. Only thin to add is parmesan cheese to the top of the soup when serving.

  49. Joyce says:

    I would serve the soup with some crusty bread or crunchy crackers. And I would probably add button mushrooms.

  50. Joyce says:

    The soup looks really good and I may have to try it. The only thing I would add would be whole button mushrooms. I love them in soups.

  51. Donna says:

    I would serve French Bread that is buttered and garlic added with this Chicken Noodle Soup.

  52. Jeannette says:

    This looks great! I might add a little Velveeta cheese to thicken it up a bit and serve it with crusty garlic bread.

  53. Dale Kauth says:

    5 stars
    haven’t made it yet, but the recipe looks perfect. I would have a toasted slice of beer bread on the side just to have the crunch.

  54. Louise says:

    This soup sound delicious. Since it is thanksgiving this weekend in Canada will probably make this soup with leftover turkey with a side of fresh baked bisquits.

  55. Melia O'Dell says:

    I would add a small squeeze of fresh lemon at the end.

    i love this recipe i am always serving it with crusty bread or grilled cheese sandwiches and the recipe is perfect the way it is

  58. Gayle Hoffman says:

    I would serve homemade warm bead with butter. My mouth is drooling looking at this picture. I know whats for supper!

  59. Jeanette says:

    Excited for soup weather! There’s something so comforting about warming up with a nice, hot bowl of soup! I serve it with a simple sliced Italian bread with butter.

  60. Destiny J Boggess says:

    My kids love this soup and in the cooler months they ask for it weekly. Their usually not a big fan of veggies but they love this soup.

  61. Jennifer Ruwoldt says:

    Looks delicious. We always have grilled cheese with our chicken noodle soup!

  62. Cindy says:

    Never made chicken noodle soup before. I would definitely try the creamy version. Love grilled cheese with my soup

  63. Kara says:

    I love to make those easy take and bake rolls from the bakery at my local grocery store.
    Easy to make and they soak up all the soup goodness!

  64. Tish Cumbow says:

    5 stars
    I also would add frozen peas at the end of cooking or for a change up, spinach!
    I also think a crisp cold salad would be a great side to go along with. I like eating saltine crackers and dipping them into the broth!

  65. kellie says:

    5 stars
    We have crackers and/or grilled chesses with chicken noodle soup. This soup is amazing!!!

  66. Laura Parker says:

    Love this recipe!!! I also serve some kind of bread or rolls with soup- yum!! FYI, I usually cook the noodles separately and serve the soup over them. Then they are not mushy when leftovers are reheated. With only 2 in our household, there will be wonderful leftovers.

  67. Connie says:

    Did you precooked the pasta for the chicken soup?

  68. Nicole says:

    I would serve homemade biscuits or grilled cheese with this soup.

  69. Cindy Shipley says:

    This recipe looks amazing! I would not change a thing!! We usually have breadsticks or biscuits with our chicken soup….yummmm

  70. Terry Riffko says:

    would serve with chicken salad sandwiches

  71. Kristi Peterson says:

    5 stars
    I like to serve chicken noodle soup with a grilled cheese sandwich. I know it’s the traditional tomato soup it is served with but I like the chicken broth with the melty cheese.
    I also like to buy the match stick carrots if I can swing it for Chicken Noodle. It’s a time saver!

  72. Kathie says:

    We eat ours with grilled cheese sandwiches

  73. Linda C. Seal says:

    5 stars
    Love the recipe. I used a lemon and pepper rotisserie chicken. I also put a pinch of red pepper flakes in the celery, onions, and carrots are getting tender. My family loves a piece of hot fresh French bread so they get every last bite.

  74. Laura T says:

    I would love this with some homemade biscuits or homemade bread! Yumm

  75. Jeri Perkins says:

    I would serve Church Spread sandwiches with this soup. The recipe for church spread is
    1 cup karo syrup
    1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
    1/4 cup marshmallow fluff

    Mix well

    It’s not a healthy side dish, but it sure is good!

  76. Karen says:

    This soup looks yummy. What would you serve with this soup?

    I love your recipes.

  77. Cathy says:

    Look delicious! I would serve with nice crusty bread. And I will definitely add this to me recipes.

  78. Mary Paisley says:

    I would add some poultry seasoning to the recipes.

    I serve grilled cheese sandwiches sometimes with chicken noodle soup.

  80. MaryJane Mendez says:

    5 stars
    I made this delicious recipe last year and look forward to making it again this year when it starts getting colder here in Texas. I wouldn’t add to the recipe and I usually just eat it with crackers but might try with cornbread or Hawaiian Rolls this time around.

  81. Chelsea says:

    I love me some homemade chicken noodle! We usually pair it with french bread or use saltine crackers for dipping. If I feel like mixing up the flavor, I like to throw in a little bouillon or onion powder and parsley.

  82. Nancy Eberle says:

    I like to serve French Bread or wheat toast with lots of soups. Crockpots soups are so great for busy evenings. Many times we have “Crockpot Tuesdays” since I work later that day and typically have evening meetings on Tuesdays.

  83. Christy Chupka says:

    5 stars
    I have made this recipe and the whole family enjoys it! We just eat it with saltine crackers usually on a cold wet day.

  84. Melodie Sajdowitz says:

    Looks yummy. I would serve garlic toast with this soup.

  85. Jamie Hagins says:

    I’m going to try this recipe. I like to have rolls with my soup.

  86. Lisa says:

    5 stars
    I would add just about a 1/2 tsp of poultry seasoning and 1/4 tsp of tumeric. I would serve this with cornbread muffins.

  87. Sandy says:

    5 stars
    This soup looks delicious. I would probably eat crackers with it

    I would omit the noodles and try rice. This is an excellent receipe that I will make often.

    Delicious Chicken Noodle Soup! I did add one item to the soup – request from my husband – dumplings. This soup is a perfect meal with warm rolls, thank you for sharing.

  90. Robbie says:

    I think I would serve home made rolls with it. I’m looking forward to trying the home made Hawaiian rolls. The soup sounds delicious!

    This recipe is one of my favorites. Sometimes I use better than bullion if I don’t have chicken stock on hand. Soup season is upon us and can’t wait to make this soon.

  92. Kim says:

    This soup sounds delicious. I think I would make it just the way it is first. Then maybe change it next time. I would serve crackers with butter on them or grilled cheese sandwiches.

  93. Lynnette says:

    The noodles I usually use no yokes.. Would this work ? I see you use egg noodle .what the difference?

    1. Carrie Barnard says:

      Yes that would work. both are great.

    Yum! I love this soup! I like to serve it with biscuits and a basic salad. ( I’m a bit weird, I can’t have all soft food in a meal, some sort of crunch has to be involved)??

    I like to add cumin and basil, and some cabbage as well to the recipe.

    chicken noodle soup is one of my go to meals during the fall and winter. i always eat it with saltine crackers lol, basic i know. i added onion, but i always add onion to everything.

  101. Tammy says:

    I would omit the salt and use ACCENT. And I serve homemade biscuits.

    Easy and tasty recipe

  104. Brenda Gilkeson says:

    I would fix cornbread to eat with my chicken soup…..

  105. Stacey says:

    Looks so yummy! I think I would like to try the creamy version with half and half… has anyone tried that? Maybe add some bacon (in other words, no longer healthy!)

  106. Maria Bushon says:

    I would have biscuits or cornbread with this soup.

  107. Debbie says:

    This looks amazing. I would probably serve with some type of crackers. I wouldn’t change a thing I think it will be perfect just as the recipe is!! Perfect for when it gets cold here in Oklahoma!!

  108. Tammie Green says:

    This sounds delicious. I would make it lower carb by omitting noodles and add some fresh kale.

  109. Tami Carlson says:

    One of my favorite soups. But we prefer the frozen Raemes noodles rather than egg noodles. Might need to make this tonight!!!

    1. Carrie Barnard says:

      I love do that too. I love reames noodles

  110. Robin says:

    We always add a dash of cinnamon to our bowls of chicken noodle soup. It just seems to add a little boost to the flavor.

  111. Amy says:

    Delicious with homemade biscuits!!

    I actually made/lead this today on zoom for a virtual chef class and it was amazing ! So many great reviews. Parents even asked for a link to your page/copy! Now I have a ton of yummy leftovers !

    If you’re second guessing making it, I promise just do it !

  116. Samantha L Horrell says:

    Hello, I am wanting to make this soup and I saw that it says to use garlic salt in the list of ingredients but then on the recipe it says minced garlic,is the measurements the same?

    1. Carrie Barnard says:

      Sorry about that, I used minced garlic in this recipe. I updated the post to be more clear. Thank you.

  117. Molly says:

    I made this soup 11.20.21 and we LOVED It! It came together quickly and was loaded with flavor. My husband and I packed it for our lunches. A friends young son had Covid (thankfully no symptoms) and I was looking to make something comforting. This soup did the trick. I plan on making it again using the leftover turkey from Thanksgiving. Thank you for sharing your recipe. It is a keeper.

    1. Carrie Barnard says:

      Thank you so much Molly!

    We had this for dinner tonight! Oh my goodness…SO good!! Perfect fall & winter meal!! We will be having this again! Go make this…GO!!

  119. Debbie says:

    Could you thicken this recipe a bit and if so what would you use. Thank you

    1. Carrie says:

      Yes, you can. I usually use cornstarch. I mix 2 Tbsp of cornstarch with 1/4 cup of water and stir that into the soup. Heat and stir it until the soup thickens to the consistency that you prefer.

  120. Nettie says:

    Delicious chicken noodle soup. Very simple to make. I added 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon powder. This recipe is definitely a keeper.

    1. Carrie says:

      Thank you so much!

  121. Terri says:

    Want to make this soup extra rich and yummy? Add a can of cream of chicken or cream of celery soup. I add just a little rice, too! So good!

    1. Carrie says:

      Love that idea – Thank you for sharing 🙂

  122. Lisa says:

    How do you measure “one cup egg noodles” – dry or cooked? If dry, how do you measure dry egg noodles?

    1. Carrie says:

      It’s approximately 4 ounces of uncooked egg noodles. I use approximately 1/3 of a 12 oz package of egg noodles.

  123. Melanie says:

    The recipe says 1 cup of egg noodles. Is that correct?

    1. Carrie says:

      Yes, that’s correct – I don’t use as many since it’s a soup.

  124. Christina says:

    Can you make this in a crock pot if you don’t have a big enough stock pot ?
    Also what size stock pot do you need/use ?

    1. Carrie says:

      I used an 8 quart stock pot for this recipe. I do have a crock pot chicken noodle soup that can be found here. You can use egg noodles instead of the Reames noodle in this recipe. Thanks – I hope you enjoy it!

    Hi I am planning on making this tonight and I got a chicken brother that serves six… should i still get the other 7 cups? Thank you for sharing this!!
