Is there anything more comforting than a steaming bowl of delicious chicken noodle soup? Well, okay, other
than a mug of hot cocoa?
Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup
3 Chicken breasts, cubed, or 3 cups cooked chicken
1 onion, diced
3 carrots, sliced
3 celery stalks, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 can corn or 2 cups fresh or frozen corn
12 cups chicken broth
1 recipe homemade noodles
1 tsp. pepper (or more according to taste)
In a big 8 quart pot cook chicken in 2 tbsp. olive oil. Add onions and celery and cook until tender. Add carrots and garlic. Stir and cook for one minute. Add corn and chicken broth. Bring to a boil. Simmer for 10 minutes or until carrots are almost tender. (I usually make the noodles while the carrots are cooking). Add the noodles and pepper and cook another 5-7 minutes. Yummo!
I personally love to fill my bowl with fresh spinach and then spoon the hot soup over it. But I’m weird that way.
Edited: Sometimes the chicken broth doesn’t add enough flavor so I add a teaspoon or two of chicken bouillon. As is the case with any recipe adjust the seasonings to your own taste.
Yum! I’m hungry, and we just ate!
This soup looks so good. I’ve always used a noodle recipe that had olive oil in it (came from an old Italian cookbook), so I was interested to see that yours didn’t. Now I think we’ll have to have a “noodle off” at our house to see if people can tell the difference or have a preference. (We did this once with two different recipes for turkey dressing…nice excuse to get friends together for dinner…)
I’ve never thought of putting fresh spinach in my bowl – maybe I’ll have to try it (I like your photo)
Mmmm….that sounds so good! I was just talking to John last night about making it and now I have a recipe to try out! I loved your Christmas card, Monste, you are seriously my hero, I am in awe at all that you do!
I always have to make homemade noodles for Chicken soup too. I always make a double batch of noodle dough and use the other half the next day for chinese pan fried noodles Mmmmmmm. Now I know what I’m making for dinner tonight. Thanks =)
Oh, and I do the spinach thing too and LOVE it. I finally got my hubby to do it too.
It’s interesting that you do it that way. I fry my noodles a bit and boil the chicken. Boiling my chicken gives me my broth and boiling the noodles makes it so the noodles don’t get too soggy. I always make TONS of extra for next day yumminess. I was thinking of making it for dinner too but it’s going to be 70 degrees today. I think I’ll wait for colder weather.
There’s nothing better than homemade chicken noodle soup!
I will have to try it with spinach next time.
I love hot chocolate … and homemade chicken noodle soup 🙂 !!
Happy New Year!
Looks like Monday was the day for homemade noodles and soup…I did the same thing. I don’t really use a recipe for the soup – just throw in what sounds good.
My noodle recipe is similar but I think it only uses 2 eggs.
The kids LOVE LOVE them! They are already big noodle fans but they think it’s so cool for us to make our own.
My noodles don’t look at nice as yours b/c I don’t have a pasta machine 🙁 So I roll it out and run a pizza cutter down it. I’m not good at straight lines – but I guess we can just say it adds “character” to the noodles 🙂
Yum-ity yum! I can smell the goodness from your picture and my mouth is watering.
Thank you for sharing your recipes!
Yummy! Sounds delicious and looks good too. Too bad my kid are sickc of soup!
