A comforting chicken noodle soup with tender chicken, vegetables, and wide egg noodles, perfect for quick, hearty meals that taste like they've been simmering for hours.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat.
- Add chicken and brown.
- Add vegetables, thyme, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat to medium and cover.
- Sweat the vegetables for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add broth and bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, add the noodles and cook for 10 minutes, or until noodles are tender.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider sautéing garlic alongside the vegetables. If you don't have egg noodles, you can substitute with any pasta you have on hand, adjusting the cooking time as needed. Fresh thyme can be swapped for dried, but use about a third of the amount. For added depth, try adding a splash of lemon juice just before serving.
Serving Suggestions
This hearty chicken noodle soup pairs beautifully with a simple green salad or crusty bread for dipping. For a burst of freshness, serve with a sprinkle of additional parsley on top. You might also enjoy it alongside a slice of homemade bread or even with some Holiday Stuffing Recipe for a comforting meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently warm on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of broth or water if it thickens too much. Avoid microwaving, as it can lead to uneven heating and overcooked noodles.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can I do if my soup is too salty?
If your soup turns out too salty, try adding a peeled potato while it simmers; it will absorb some of the saltiness. Alternatively, incorporating more broth or water can help dilute the saltiness without compromising too much on flavor.
