Kardea Brown’s Homestyle Chicken Noodle Soup
Kardea Brown’s Homestyle Chicken Noodle Soup is packed with delicious ingredients that you can easily source from the freezer section of your grocery store. The entire soup comes together in just over 30 minutes, so you can whip up a batch in a snap. Start by sauteeing chopped onions and celery in your Dutch oven for about five minutes before adding in bouillon, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder. Gradually add in chicken broth and season with salt and pepper before bringing the soup to a boil. Stir in your shredded rotisserie chicken, frozen peas and carrots, parsley, and uncooked egg noodles, allowing everything to soften before serving. This soup is packed full of flavor and so simple to make.
Martha Stewart’s Easy Chicken Noodle Soup
Martha Stewart’s chicken noodle soup recipe starts similarly to Kardea Brown’s. You first sautee onions, carrots, and celery in your soup pot before adding in your chicken broth. But Stewart likes to cook her chicken in the soup broth before shredding. She uses boneless, skinless chicken breasts, which only take about 10 minutes to poach in the boiling broth. The chicken is then removed to be shredded, and the noodles (Stewart prefers angel hair pasta) are added to the soup pot. The chicken is then reintroduced, as is some fresh dill for fresh flavor.
Stewart also gives suggestions for customizing your chicken noodle soup by adding different fresh herbs, leeks, or adding fiber with dark leafy greens like kale or arugula. It’s another quick and easy recipe that you’ll reach for over and over again!
Giada De Laurentiis’ Lemon Spaghetti Soup
Giada De Laurentiis’ version of chicken noodle soup includes a bit of zesty lemon to really heighten the flavor. In a large stock pot, bring chicken broth, lemon juice, bay leaf, and Parmesan rind (optional) to a boil over medium-high heat. First, add chopped carrots and allow them to simmer and get tender before adding in your pasta. When the pasta is cooked, add in your diced rotisserie chicken and remove the Parmesan rind and bay leaf. Stir in grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese and chopped parsley, and season to taste before serving. It’s a fun take on a classic recipe that gives you a little extra kick to wake up your taste buds.
Ina Garten’s Chicken Noodle Soup
And if you really want to make the entire soup from scratch, then Ina Garten’s chicken noodle soup recipe is the one to check out. Her recipe starts with roasting seasoned chicken breast in the oven for about 40 minutes before removing the meat from the bones when cooled. She prefers using homemade chicken stock (recipe included in her chicken noodle soup recipe), which she brings to a boil in a large stockpot, adding celery, carrots, and noodles when the broth is simmering. When the noodles are cooked, add the chicken back into the soup and stir in some chopped parsley for freshness. With all of this homemade goodness, this might be the most comforting recipe on the list!
