Is there anything that defines comfort food more than chicken noodle soup? Other than chocolate chip cookies and pot roast, I say not really.

I don’t know about canned soup, but this homemade recipe is incredibly healthy! Chicken broth and all those bits of vegetables are a great source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. These help build a stronger immune system to fight off viruses, and also aid in your body healing more quickly when you do get sick. That’s why so many people refer to it as liquid penicillin!

How many calories in chicken noodle soup? Chicken soup is generally low in calories. One serving of this particular recipe is only 206 calories.

To me, this soup is substantial all on its own, but sometimes I’ll serve it with popovers or focaccia. You can also top it with a few oyster crackers.

Yes there’s more steps than quick and easy chicken noodle soup recipes, but it is so worth it because this broth is something money can’t buy!

You can use any type of noodles or pasta for Chicken Noodle Soup.Short twisted egg noodles and pasta shapes are ideal – for ease of eating.

I tend to use whatever I have. For long straight pastas like fettuccine (which is what I used because I had it), just break them into 3 or 4 pieces for ease of eating.

One of the things we all love about a great chicken noodle soup is how clear the broth is. Transparent – yet full of flavour! There’s a few tricks to the clear broth:

You probably won’t even use half the meat on the chicken for this Chicken Noodle Soup. So here’s a few ideas for things to make with the leftover cooked chicken:

I kept the veggies in the soup fairly classic, using just onion, carrots and celery. But don’t let my lack of imagination deter you – add whatever you want!

Chicken Noodle Soup (from Scratch)

Recipe video above. A classic version made from scratch using a whole chicken. It’s light yet full of flavour that you can’t get using store bought chicken broth!

SCALING note: If you use the servings slider to adjust for chicken size, IGNORE the change to the water required for simmering. Just use enough water to just cover the chicken, aiming for around 2.25 litres/quarts. Much more than this and the broth will be too weak in flavour.

1. Chicken size: This recipe will work fine for any chicken larger than 1.5kg/3lb. Any smaller and the broth flavour may be slightly lacking but you can just top up flavour with Vegeta, or chicken or vegetable stock powder/crumbled bouillon cube.

3. Noodles: Any pasta or noodles work perfectly here. Short, wide twisted noodles/pasta are ideal for ease of eating. Break Lon strand pasta into 3 or 4. I typically use whatever I have – I used fettuccine in the photos/video.

4. Vegeta – Vegeta is a brand of vegetable stock powder, labelled “Gourmet Seasoning” and “All Purpose Seasoning” in the US & Canada. See here for a photo, video, and here it is on Amazon US. Read in this post about Vegeta and MSG misconceptions! It’s my favourite stock powder to use in soup broths because of the flavour, colour, clarity and that you get little “bits” in the soup.It’s sold in the herb & spice aisle of supermarkets here in Australia.

5. Cooked carrots & celery – I tend to discard because stove simmering for this long makes them extremely soft, bordering on mushy. If using slow cooker, they tend to have a better texture so I chop and toss them in (like in Slow Cooker Ham Bone Soup). But you can add them if you want – extra veg!

7. How to store Chicken Noodle Soup: Noodles bloat! So best to separate the noodles and veggies from the soup, then store separately. Will keep for 3 – 4 days in the fridge. Broth will freeze for months.

Things to make with Leftover Chicken: You’ll only use 1/2 the chicken, if that. See in post for a list of suggestions of things to make!
