The Secret to the Best Chicken Noodle Soup
The key to an amazing chicken noodle soup is simplicity and balance. Using lean chicken breast keeps the protein high while a mix of onions, carrots, and celery adds natural sweetness and depth. The herbs bring warmth and richness, and the pasta soaks up all that delicious broth for the perfect texture.
And the best part? Everything cooks in ONE pot, meaning fewer dishes and more time enjoying your meal!
Here are the Main Ingredients you will Need:
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Heat 2 tsp olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add onion, carrots, celery, and garlic; sauté for 2-3 minutes, just until softened.
Add chicken breast, chicken broth, thyme, parsley, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
Stir in the pasta and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until tender.
Add fresh parsley as garnish if desired, and adjust seasoning before serving if needed.
Recipe Notes and Modifications:
- Depending on how much broth boils off during cooking, you can add more broth at the end for a more liquid based soup. If you do this, adjust seasonings as needed
- If you would like to increase fiber/protein, you can use chickpea pasta. Macros will differ.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days. The pasta may absorb liquid, so add extra broth when reheating.
- For best results when freezing, omit the pasta and freeze in portions for up to 3 months. Add freshly cooked pasta when reheating. Or can freeze with pasta, but know that the pasta will soften with re heating.
