A household staple: chicken noodle soup, made with wholesome ingredients in just one pot!
Why buy canned chicken noodle soup when you can easily make it from scratch with wholesome and fresh ingredients! Sure we all love the convenience of a heat and go meal, but it's the added sodium content that's a real canned soup killer for me. What if I told you that this soup could be heat and go as well? This recipe makes a whopping 8 servings so there’s bound to be leftovers that you can heat and go the next day!
This recipe is a family favorite and one I grew up eating. Thanks Mom for the best one pot chicken noodle soup recipe!
What Ingredients are Needed for One Pot Chicken Noodle Soup?
Chicken: One pound of chicken breast, sauteed on the stove and then shredded into thin pieces. I like to cube the chicken before cooking so it cuts down on the cook time.
Vegetables: Onion, garlic, carrots, celery. The classic chicken noodle soup veggies.
Chicken Broth: Can substitute for veggie broth if that’s all you have, but the chicken broth really helps to enhance that chicken noodle soup flavor.
Noodles: You absolutely have to use Pennsylvania Dutch Extra Wide Egg Noodles. No negotiations. These are the best for chicken noodle soup and always the way my mom makes it! Mom knows best right?! (If you can't find this brand, any extra wide egg noodles will be just fine!)
Spices: Paprika, parsley, dill, salt and pepper. Don’t skimp on the spices, they really make this soup so yummy, especially the paprika!
