Chicken Noodle Soup

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
Chicken Noodle Soup
Chicken Noodle Soup

Chicken Noodle Soup, something comforting and healing for chilly days. It’s an American classic and a wholesome meal: Chicken, noodles, vegetables and broth.

History

Chicken and broth is a combination believed to be popular with Greeks. Noodles often featured with broth based soups in ancient Asian cuisine.

So it was only a matter of time, that Chicken and noodles came together!

It was “Campbell’s” that first started selling canned chicken and noodle soup in the 1930s. Campbell’s Chicken Noodle soup is still popular and a common household product.

What kind of noodles to use?

Chicken Noodle soup is made with egg noodles. But other forms of plain and flat noodles and spaghetti pasta can also be used.

Other Soup Recipes: Tomato Soup, Red Lentil and Chicken Soup, Butternut Squash Soup

Soup Ingredients

Over the years, every household has their own version of this popular comforting soup. The ingredients mostly include: Chicken, Noodles, Broth, vegetables & herbs.

I use poached & shredded seasoned Chicken breast. White chicken meat is healthy and low fat compared to darker chicken meat (thighs and wings).

Alternatively, use store bought or homemade rotisserie chicken (shredded meat).

In addition to Chicken, sometimes other meats and seafood can also be added.

Vegetables make the soup hearty and include: Carrots, celery and onions. Other vegetables that one can add: Cabbage, scallions, peas, green beans, etc.

I use vegetable broth but traditionally it’s Chicken broth.

Herbs like thyme, oregano and parsley adds tons of flavor.

Storage

If you’re serving it right away, follow my recipe till the end. But if you’re making a large batch and refrigerating and freezing as well, then store the cooked noodled and soup separately. This will prevent the noodles from turning soggy.

Refrigerate the soup for 3-5 days from the date prepared. Freeze up to 6 months.

How to poach Chicken breast

  • Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper and place them in a large pot. The breasts should cover the base of the pot. Don’t overlap of over crowd.
  • Now add sufficient water to just cover the chicken (breasts should be completely submerged in water).
  • On a medium high heat, bring it to a boil. Once boiling, maintain a medium heat and let it boil for another 8-12 minutes or until the chicken breast are well cooked.
  • Once cooked, discard the water and let the chicken cool before shredding/ dicing.
  • Use as desired.
