Nothing says comfort like a steaming bowl of chicken noodle soup. This easy, one-pot recipe is brimming with tender chicken, hearty vegetables, and soft egg noodles, all simmered in flavorful broth. Ready in under an hour, it’s perfect for busy weeknights, chilly evenings, or whenever you crave a taste of home.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced

  • 1 cup sliced carrots

  • 1 cup diced celery

  • 2 tbsp minced garlic

  • 8 cups chicken broth or stock

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs

  • 2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper

  • 1 ½ tsp kosher salt

  • 1 tsp dried oregano

  • 1 tsp minced fresh thyme (or ½ tsp dried)

  • 2 bay leaves

  • 6 oz egg noodles (or your favorite small pasta)

  • Optional garnish: fresh chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Sauté vegetables:
    In a large Dutch oven over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add onion, carrots, and celery and cook for 4 minutes until softened.

  2. Add garlic and seasonings:
    Stir in garlic and cook 1 more minute. Add chicken broth, chicken, salt, pepper, oregano, thyme, and bay leaves. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat.

  3. Cook and shred chicken:
    Cover the pot slightly and simmer until chicken is tender and easily shredded, about 15 minutes. Remove chicken and shred with two forks, then return to the pot.

  4. Cook noodles:
    Bring soup to a low boil and add egg noodles. Cook 6–7 minutes until al dente.

  5. Serve:
    Ladle soup into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and enjoy with bread or crackers on the side.

Notes

  • Storing leftovers: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge up to 5 days. Add extra broth when reheating, as noodles absorb liquid.

  • Freezing: Freeze without noodles for up to 3 months. Add fresh noodles when reheating.

  • Make-ahead: Prepare the soup in advance for easy weeknight meals. Add noodles just before serving to keep them from getting soggy.

  • Flavor boost: Add a squeeze of lemon or a pinch of fresh dill for extra brightness.
