Homemade chicken noodle soup

There’s nothing like homemade chicken noodle soup on a cold wintery night. This recipe can be easily be tweaked to your own tastes. And there’s nothing like leftover soup, absolutely delicious, especially when you’re sick!

Homemade chicken noodle soup

Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 30-45 minutes
Makes: around 8 servings

Ingredients

  • 4 cooked chicken breasts or 1 whole chicken, cut into pieces
  • 9oz of egg noodles (around 3/4 of a package)
  • 8 cubes of chicken bouillon
  • 10-15 baby carrots, sliced
  • 3 stalks of celery, sliced
  • 1 1/2 cups of frozen corn
  • 1 1/2 cups of frozen peas (or mixed vegetables)
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1/4 of an onion
  • 1 bay leaf or 1/4 tsp of dried bay leaf
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Steps

  1. In a large saucepan, boil the chicken until tender and no longer pink.
  2. Drain and dice.
  3. Add all other ingredients and bring to a boil.
  4. Simmer on low until desired flavour is reached (around 15-30 minutes). Salt and pepper to taste.

Change it up! I used left over fried chicken pieces (thighs, legs, wings, etc.), without the skin, so I didn’t add any extra salt. Also, I added a some sharp cheddar cheese and crackers to my own personal bowl of soup.
