Hey there, foodies! Today I want to talk about one of my favorite comfort foods – homemade chicken noodle soup. There’s nothing quite like a warm bowl of soup on a chilly day, and chicken noodle soup has always been my go-to. Not only is it delicious, but it’s also easy to make and incredibly soothing for the soul.

First things first, let’s talk about the ingredients. You’ll need:

• 1 whole chicken



• 1 onion, chopped
• 3 carrots, peeled and chopped
• 3 stalks of celery, chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 8 cups of chicken broth
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme leaves
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 8 oz of egg noodles

Start by cooking the chicken in a large pot of water until it’s fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the pot and let it cool. Once it’s cool enough to handle, remove the meat from the bones and set it aside. Discard the bones and skin.

In the same pot, sauté the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic until they’re softened. Add the chicken broth, bay leaf, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes.

Add the egg noodles to the pot and cook until they’re tender. Add the chicken back in and cook for another 5-10 minutes until everything is heated through.

And that’s it! Homemade chicken noodle soup in just a few simple steps. Not only is it delicious, but it’s also incredibly comforting. There’s something about a warm bowl of soup that just makes everything better.

If you’re feeling adventurous, you can also add in some other ingredients to switch things up. I like to add in some frozen peas or corn to give it a little extra flavor. You could also add some diced potatoes or even some spicy peppers if you like a little heat.

So, the next time you’re feeling down or just need a little comfort food, give homemade chicken noodle soup a try. I promise it won’t disappoint.
