    There is nothing more comforting when your sick or stuck at home on a rainy day than some homemade chicken noodle soup. Below is my go to recipe. The secret to the best tasting chicken noodle soup is in the broth. I have been making homemade bone broth for years now (Post coming soon) and no other broth out there can compete with the deep rich flavor that comes from making your own.. Anytime I make broth this soup is on the menu. If I don’t have bone broth on hand my next choice would be stock made with a better than bouillon paste. The broth is so important because that's what is going to give your soup the most flavor.

    Ingredients

    • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
    • 1 lb Chicken Breast
    • 1 tbsp Butter
    • 1 Yellow Onion Diced
    • 2 Large Carrots peeled and diced
    • 4 Celery Stalks Chopped
    • 3 Garlic Cloves Minced
    • 8 Cups Chicken Stock
    • 2 Bay Leaves
    • 1 tsp Rosemary
    • ½ tsp Thyme
    • 1 tsp Salt
    • Pepper to Taste
    • ¼ Cup Fresh Parsley
    • 12 oz Egg Noodles

    Instructions

    I start with an empty dutch oven and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and bring to temp over medium heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and add to the warm pot.

    Remove and rest the chicken for about five minutes before shredding.

    Add two tablespoons of butter to the empty pot. DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP. Deglaze the pan with a wooden spoon scraping off the bits of chicken. This will add so much flavor to your soup.

    Add in carrots and celery and cook until soft. My family likes them about halfway cooked so they still have a little crunch to them. My kids do not like soft veggies. So cook them to your desired texture.

    Add in the garlic until fragrant. Then add in shredded chicken, broth, and all the spices and bring to a boil.
