This Weeknight Chicken Noodle Soup is just about as easy to make as heating up a can of chicken noodle soup but so much more delicious! Ben always makes this soup for me when I am not feeling well and I recently made it for my parents when they were recovering from surgeries and they raved about it. A big batch of this soup would be a great gift to bring a sick friend, a wonderful weeknight meal on a cold night or just an easy dinner whenever you are craving chicken noodle soup. It is so comforting and so good and the best part is that it couldn’t get any easier to make.
Weeknight Chicken Noodle Soup
Prep time: 10 min | Cook time: 30 min | Total Time: 40 min | Servings: 8-10
Ingredients
1.5 Tbsp butter
2 cups chopped yellow onion (about one medium onion)
2 cups peeled and sliced carrots (about four carrots)
2 large, smashed garlic cloves
64 oz chicken broth
1 can of vegetable broth
2 cups large egg noodles
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
Meat from 1 rotisserie chicken, chopped or shredded
Salt and pepper to taste
Equipment
Medium or large Dutch oven or soup pot. We use this one.
Directions
1. Prep the ingredients. Peel and slice 2 cups of carrots (about 4 carrots). Chop 2 cups of yellow onion (about one medium onion). Smash and peel two large garlic cloves.
2. Melt 1.5 Tbsp of butter in a medium Dutch oven or soup pot over medium heat.
3. Add 2 cups of chopped carrots and sauté for about 5 minutes.
4. Add the 2 cups of chopped onions and 2 smashed garlic cloves and sauté for another 5 minutes.
5. Add 1 tsp of Italian Seasoning and cook for another 30 seconds while stirring.
6. Add 64 oz of chicken broth and 1 can of vegetable broth and bring up to a boil.
7. Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the shredded chicken and 2 cups of egg noodles. Simmer for about 20 minutes until the noodles are cooked. Keep an eye on the noodles so they don’t overcook and get mushy. Depending on the size of noodle and type you get, they may require less time to cook.
8. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.
9. We like to serve it with warm bread and butter.
