Chicken Noodle Soup is the best cure for a winter cold or dinner solution to a cold winter’s night!

I also love to use my Instant Pot to make Instant Pot Chicken Noodle Soup. This Thai Chicken Coconut Soup has amazing flavor and is a nice change of pace.  I also love a bowl of Chicken and Wild Rice Soup when the weather is cold!

Chicken Noodle Soup

Comfort Food

Has the winter cold and flu season hit your house yet?  We’ve already had our turn and hopefully it is our last turn! I don’t know about you but nothing tastes better when I’ve got a bad cold than a bowl of chicken noodle soup.  It may be an emotional tie from my childhood or because they advertise it as such but it just seems to work!

Chicken Noodle Soup

When I was a child that chicken noodle soup always came out of that red and white can but now that I am older and wiser I much prefer a pot of homemade chicken noodle soup.  To make the process easier I used some rotisserie chicken.  You can buy a rotisserie chicken and pull the meat off it or if you want to make it even easier and pick up a package of the chicken meat at Costco that they have already removed from the chicken for you!  Trader Joe’s also carries a similar product.

What Kind of Chicken to Use in Chicken Noodle Soup

You want to use cooked shredded or cubed chicken. You can do that several different ways:

  • Store bought Rotisserie Chicken
  • Instant Pot Whole Chicken
  • Chicken Breasts in the Microwave
  • Slow Cooker Shredded Chicken
  • Instant Pot Shredded Chicken

How to Make Chicken Noodle Soup

I like my chicken broth a little thicker so I use a roux.  A roux is a mixture of butter and flour. It helps make the broth nice and creamy without having to add milk.

Chicken Noodle Soup

Add in your remaining ingredients and as the soup simmers it will thicken up thanks to the roux.  If it gets too thick for your liking,  just add in some more chicken broth to get it the consistency that you want.

Chicken Noodle Soup

I also like to cook my noodles separately, not in the chicken noodle soup so they don’t absorb too much of the yummy broth.  I boil them in water and then add them into the soup.

Chicken Noodle Soup

The addition of fresh garlic, oregano, thyme and fresh parsley give the soup lots of flavor.

Chicken Noodle Soup

But don’t wait until you have a cold to try this chicken noodle soup.  I heard it’s good for keeping colds away too!

A few of my other favorite soups are:

  • Crockpot Chipotle Butternut Squash Soup
  • Minestrone Soup
  • Thai Coconut Chicken Soup

    I made this soup last night, it was delicious! I worked off of the printed instructions, so when I went to cook it, I noticed there wasn’t a mention of how to cook the chicken or to even cook the chicken before adding it into the soup. I had already opened the pkg. of chicken already so I ended up using about 2.5 lbs of boneless skinless chicken thighs and sprinkling salt and pepper on them and baking them in the oven at 375 for about 30 minutes.

    It baked well, and then I cubed and added the cubes into the soup when you say to add all the other ingredients except the pasta. I wasn’t sure what to do, I hope that’s what was meant to happen. Other suggestions for cooking the chicken are definitely welcome.

    I wasn’t sure what to do with the garlic, the ingredient list mentions the garlic, but doesn’t say where to add it. So I missed adding it, but added garlic salt at the end with the oregano and thyme. The garlic salt gave it a nice light flavor and it was good.

    I made too much roux because I calculated for 9 servings, but got worried it wouldn’t be enough, so I added more chicken stock and made too much roux and it got too thick. However, it made plenty of soup!

    I’ve got leftovers now and I think I can just add additional water or chicken stock and thin it out. I’m really excited to reheat it on Wednesday, it’s supposed to freeze this week. Not looking forward, but we will have some wonderful soup to keep us warm! Thank you for the delicious recipe, my family loved it!

      Sorry about the confusion. I updated the recipe to state that it needs cooked chicken. Glad you enjoyed your soup
