Easy Chicken Noodle Soup
When the weather cools down or the whole house comes down with a sniffle, nothing hits quite like a warm bowl of Easy Chicken Noodle Soup. It’s simple, cozy, and exactly the kind of recipe I always come back to—especially on days I’m tired or not feeling my best.
Growing up, chicken noodle soup was always one of those meals that felt like a hug in a bowl.
And after I got married, my mother-in-law showed me how to make it completely from scratch—boiling a whole chicken to make the broth, rolling out homemade noodles, letting everything simmer low and slow.
It was a full-day process but so worth it. That version will always have a special place in my heart.
But there are days when you still crave that homemade chicken noodle soup comfort… without making homemade noodles or cooking a whole chicken.
On a day when I really wasn’t feeling well, this quicker version came to the rescue.
It uses simple ingredients, comes together fast, and still tastes like the cozy, comforting soup we all love.
