A comforting and hearty chicken noodle soup recipe that brings back memories of grandma’s kitchen.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 whole chicken (about 3–4 lbs)
  • 8 cups of water
  • 2 cups of egg noodles
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 bay leaves
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, combine the whole chicken and water. Bring to a boil.
  2. Add the chopped onion, garlic, carrots, celery, and bay leaves. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Reduce heat and let it simmer for about 1 hour, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  4. Remove the chicken from the pot and let it cool. Strain the broth to remove the vegetables and bay leaves.
  5. Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, shred the meat and discard the bones.
  6. Return the strained broth to the pot and bring it back to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions.
  7. Once the noodles are cooked, add the shredded chicken back into the pot. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can roast the chicken before boiling.
