Easy Chicken Noodle Soup
"I have been making this soup for my son since he was just a toddler. Now, I make it with lots of chicken and noodles because this is a wintertime meal at our house. Use whatever chicken pieces you have on hand, remove the skin and bone (if necessary), chop them up -- and you have done the hardest part of making this delicious soup!!"

- Serves:

6-8
ingredients
- 1 - 1 1⁄2 lb skinless chicken
- 2 tablespoons chicken soup base (I use low sodium)
- 2 tablespoons parsley flakes
- 2 -3 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1 small onion, minced
- 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 cups egg noodles, medium
- 12 cups water
directions
- Chop chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- Place chicken, parsley, garlic, onion, pepper, and soup base into large dutch oven or stock pot.
- Brown the chicken mixture over medium heat.
- If you are not using a non-stick pot, you may need to add a bit of water.
- Add water, and bring to a boil.
- Add noodles, and return to a boil.
- Cook for about 5 minutes until noodles are tender.
- Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for at least 20 minutes.
- (I usually turn heat very low, and let it cook for about 1 hour) Ladle into bowls and serve piping hot.
- Note: I have made this in a crockpot, also.
- Simply brown the meat and all the spices, transfer to crockpot.
- Add water and cook on low for about 2 to 3 hours depending on your crockpot.
- Add noodles, and cook another hour, or until noodles are tender and soup is good and hot.

This was a very hearty soup. Even my picky eatter liked it. The only thing I added was celery seed to the broth. -
Super easy for a tired weeknight dinner. I used chicken stock instead of the water and soup base. The onion and garlic really make a flavor difference in this soup. -
Having had a nasty cold for a few days I wanted some basic chicken noodle soup and this recipe was perfect. I halved the recipe and used thigh meat and homemade noodles (from recipe #27344). Nice and thick and just what I needed to feel better. Thanks Miss Kitty! :) -
This was nice, and easy - both of which are good, but it also had a nice flavor to it which makes it even better. Great for a good meal - those canned soups definitely can't hold a candle to this one! Thanks for posting.

Hello from beautiful northwestern PA. I am a self-employed gardener, so it is kind of obvious that I love the outdoors. I am a single parent of a great 11 year old son named Ryan, he is my joy. I just turned the big 4-0 this year... and SURVIVED!!! In addition to my son, I am also raising 2 of my nephews (ages 13 & 6)... and my Mother ( she has lived with me since shortly after my Father passed away... and yes, we DO get along!!)We are a unique family, but we're happy(or maybe I mean "crazed"...LOL)! My favorite outside activities are working in the garden, and biking with my boys; favorite inside activity is baking, and trying new recipes out on the "guinea pigs"!! I love cookbooks and gardening books, and have a bunch of them... some old, and obscure, but very useful anyway.My biggest pet peeve is the mistreatment of children...makes my normally controlled red-head temper burn red-hot!! My passion is organic vegetable gardening... there is no place I would be than in my garden, growing safe, healthy food for my family.
