Homemade Chicken Soup With Noodles
Chicken soup has got to be one of the very best homecooked meals that pretty much anyone can make. You can’t go wrong with soup, right? You put all the ingredients in a cooking pot, boil them and you’re almost done! Now, you’ve made some healthy dinner or lunch for the next 2-3 days.
Since I was a child I love making my chicken soup from scratch! From making that broth, to adjusting the salt and spices – I love the process and truly enjoy the result. This easy chicken noodle soup has been tested by me and my family many many times. It is one of my go-to meals during soup season.
Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup Ingredients
- Bone-In Chicken Leg Quarters. I love the chicken thighs and leg quarters, as they are much faster to cook through and de-bone than an entire chicken. However, you can also use a whole chicken for this soup.
- Noodles. Use thin noodles, something like vermicelli noodles will be great here. Break them apart and put them in the soup in the last minutes of cooking.
- Onion and Carrot. A very classic soup duo. My preference is to chop these very thinly or to even grate them.
- Garlic, celery, bell pepper, and spices. You can also add different seasonings if you’d like to make the soup spicier. I kept mine very simple with black pepper only.
- Vinegar and egg yolk. I know it sounds weird, but this combination turns the chicken soup from clear into a thicker consistency without using cream or flour. It’s pretty magical and you’ll wait until the end to mix these two together and to add them to the soup.
- Salt. Last but not least, you’ll need to add what will seem like quite a bit of salt – but understand that we’re working from scratch here. There are only natural ingredients in the soup and to make the flavors pop, you’ll simply have to add salt.
