    Best Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe

    There is almost nothing better in the world than the smell of chicken noodle soup from scratch bubbling away on the stovetop. The aroma of the garlic and onions sauteing in the skillet, the smell of the chicken as it cooks slowly over the course of a few hours, and the scent of savory spices as you add them to the pan… it’s irresistible!

    My Chick-fil-A Chicken Soup recipe is the stuff that soup dreams are made of. It’s an old-fashioned chicken noodle soup that will make you nostalgic. It actually reminds me of the homemade chicken noodle soup with egg noodles that my Grandma made when I was young.

    It’s a savory, comforting, and healthy soup recipe. You simply cannot beat a warming soup made entirely from scratch!

    The best thing about this recipe is that it’s so easy! No fancy techniques are required to prepare a soup that tastes JUST like the famous Chick-fil-A recipe.

    I followed this recipe and it was delicious! Just what we needed when we were all down with head colds during crappy weather. Super yummy. Will definitely make again to take to other families who are under the weather.

    Chick-fil-A Chicken Noodle Soup Ingredients

    • olive oil
    • Onion
    • Celery Stalks
    • Carrots
    • Garlic Cloves
    • Water
    • Whole Chicken
    • Chicken Bouillon Cubes
    • Bay Leaves
    • Fresh Parsley
    • Egg Noodles
    • Salt and Pepper to taste

    The key to any good soup is simple, fresh ingredients. The chicken soup seasoning is kept simple, using only salt and pepper and fresh herbs. Aromatics such as garlic and onions provide excellent flavor and vegetables like carrots make it healthy and hearty while adding a little sweetness.

    Our Chick-fil-A soup uses a whole chicken, and this means that the broth is out of this world. A slowly simmered chicken creates a broth that’s rich, decadent, and totally flavorful. This is one of our favorite Dinner Ideas.

    You can use shredded chicken as well, if you like.

    How to Make Chicken Noodle Soup

    1. Mince 3 cloves of garlic and 1 onion. Dice 4 stalks of celery and 4 large carrots.

    3. Add 12 cups of water and 1 whole chicken to the pot (make sure there is enough water to cover the chicken) and bring to a boil.
    4. Once the water reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 2 hours.
    5. After the soup has simmered for 2 hours, remove the chicken and let cool enough to touch. Remove the meat from the chicken, discarding the skin, bones, and cartilage. Return the chicken meat to the soup.
    6. Once you add the chicken back to the soup, add 2 chicken bouillon cubes, 2 Bay leaves, and 4 Tbsp. of parsley. Bring soup to a boil once again.
    7. Once boiling, reduce the heat to simmer and add 2 ½ cups of egg noodles. Simmer for an additional 30 minutes.
    8. Add salt and pepper to taste.

    Can I use chicken breast to make Chicken Noodle Soup?

    You can make chicken noodle soup using 4 chicken breasts. It is amazing this way, too!

      If I use chicken breasts should I substitute chicken broth for water or will the water be OK. Thanks!

        Hi Sean! Thank you for your question! You can do half and half water/chicken broth since the bones will not flavor the soup.

      To make this a little more like the thick broth in chick fil a’s soup I put 2 cups less water and added a bouillon cube during the 2 hour simmering step.

      How long can this be stored for? Also, can it be frozen??

        Hi Courtney! You can store it for 3-4 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator and yes, you can freeze it without the noodles. Let it cool, then pour it into freezer-safe containers (with at least half an inch of space at the top to account for liquid expansion), label with the date, and store for up to 3 months.

      If I use skinless breasts will the soup broth not taste as good because it won’t have the fat that is under the skin? Will the broth not be as thick?

      Reply
      • Em Beitel says

        November 22, 2022 at 10:14 am

        Hi Alma! Using skinless breasts should be fine. Using a whole chicken definitely does add more fat and flavor to the soup, but it will still be delicious using chicken breasts. However, if you’re using chicken breasts, use 6 cups water + 6 cups chicken broth (instead of just water) since the bones will not flavor the soup.

      Made this tonight. It was delicious! Will definitely make this again. Next time I’ll boil the noodles separately and keep them on the side so I can freeze the leftovers.
