Chicken Noodle Soup

Sometimes you just want something classic. And what is more classic than a traditional chicken soup? Perfect for when you’re sick – or you just want your house to smell delicious – this chicken noodle soup is one that everybody will love.

This soup can be made in about 30 minutes, so it will be ready for whenever you want to serve. That said, if you have time to let it simmer, do. Whenever you allow a soup to cook longer, the flavors tend to meld even further. 

This is a stovetop recipe, but it can also be adapted for a slow cooker. If you want to try cooking the chicken noodle soup in your slow cooker, follow the recipe just as it is, but then let the soup simmer on low once it is all put together. Give it a few hours and then add the noodles right before serving.

Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe

Ingredients:
1 Tablespoon butter
1 small onion, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
2 stalks celery, finely diced
4 large carrots, peeled and sliced
4 chicken boneless, skinless breasts
4 cups chicken stock
2 cups cooked pasta, such as Ditalini
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
Salt and pepper to taste
Freshly chopped parsley (optional garnish)

In a dutch oven, over medium high heat, melt the butter. Cook the onions until tender.

While this is cooking, take out a cutting board and slice your chicken breasts into cubes. Add the cubed chicken to the dutch oven and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir and cook the chicken until it is no longer pink.

Reduce the heat to medium and add the garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes taking care not to burn the garlic.

Add the carrots, celery and chicken broth. Turn your heat up to medium high and bring it to a boil. Cook until the vegetables are tender, which should be around 10 minutes. Season with tarragon and additional salt and pepper to taste.

Just before you start your soup or while your soup is cooking, boil and cook your pasta in a separate pot.

Add the cooked pasta to the dutch oven just before serving your soup. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and enjoy!
