I recently remade this soup by boiling a whole chicken, removing the bones and using all chicken broth instead of water. It was wonderful that way too and you can use the water/broth combo or just use all broth and no water.

Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup
Ingredients
- 3 large chicken breasts chopped (I use the boneless, skinless ones)
- 1 14.5 ounce can chicken broth
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 2 10.5 ounce cans cream of chicken soup, undiluted
- 1 cup celery chopped
- 1 cup carrots chopped (Optional)
- 5 cups water
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon thyme
- 2 bay leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 16 ounce bag of egg noodles or you can make your own noodles.
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a large soup pot except noodles. Bring to a boil, turn down to simmer and cook until chicken and carrots are done. (I left the carrots out because I don't like them in this soup but a lot of people do).
- Add uncooked noodles and simmer another 30 minutes. Makes about 3 quarts of soup.

I love a good steaming bowl of chicken noodle soup on a cold day! This one is very good. I would offer a tip, and that’s to saute’ the carrot, onion and celery in the dutch oven or soup pot using a little bit of olive oil first, then add all the other ingredients.
My husband and I are both sick right now and this sounds like just what we need for dinner tonight. Thanks for posting. It should be delicious.
Hope you get well soon!!
Do you need to cook the noodles before adding to soup?
No, you don’t cook first, just add and they will cook in the broth.
This was great! So easy too.
Thank you so much. Happy you enjoyed the soup.
Making this in the crock pot right now, using whole chicken as I think it adds a little more flavor. Cant wait to enjoy this after my sons football game tonight!! (:
