I made this quickly with some leftover roasted chicken. It came out so tasty due to the added seasoning and garlic.. You can make this after work and have a great dinner that tastes like you simmered the stock for hours. I may never make it the old fashioned way again.

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

2 24 oz cans of chicken broth
1 roaster chicken, meat removed and diced (i only use the white meat)
1 medium onion, diced
5 celery ribs, sliced
6 carrots, sliced
4 cloves of garlic, minced
2 Tbsp dill weed
2 bay leaves
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 package of egg noodles, cooked ala dente
2 Tbsp olive oil

Steps:

1. Saute onions, celery and carrots in 2 tbsp of olive oil until semi tender.
2. Add the remaining ingredients except the noodles and simmer for 1 hour.
3. Heat the noodles up separate. Place your desired amount in the bottom of a bowl and ladle the warm soup over it.
4. Note: I never put rice or noodles in the soup pot to simmer because they lose their texture. The soup is always so much better served this way. Enjoy this quick and easy soup.

Tips:

Use a whole chicken for a richer flavor. Roasting the chicken bones adds depth and complexity to the broth.
Don't overcrowd the pot. The chicken and vegetables need room to cook evenly.
Simmer the soup for at least 1 hour. This allows the flavors to meld and develop.
Add the noodles at the end of the cooking time. This prevents them from becoming overcooked.
Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings as desired.
Serve the soup hot with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include fresh parsley, grated Parmesan cheese, and oyster crackers.

Chicken noodle soup is a classic comfort food that is enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a simple dish to make, but it can be easily customized to your liking. Whether you prefer a light and flavorful broth or a hearty and filling soup, there is a chicken noodle soup recipe out there for you.
