Description

This comforting Chicken Soup Recipe is packed with tender shredded chicken, hearty vegetables, and flavorful broth. Perfect for chilly days or when you’re under the weather, it’s a warm, nourishing bowl of homemade goodness that’s easy to make from scratch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 lbs bone-in chicken thighs or breasts
  • 8 cups chicken broth (low sodium preferred)
  • 2 large carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup egg noodles or pasta (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5 minutes until vegetables begin to soften.
  3. Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in chicken broth and add chicken, bay leaf, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  5. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30–35 minutes, until chicken is cooked through.
  6. Remove chicken from the pot, shred the meat, and discard bones and skin.
  7. If using noodles, add them to the pot and cook according to package directions.
  8. Return shredded chicken to the soup and stir to combine.
  9. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  10. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For extra richness, use a whole chicken and simmer longer for a deep-flavored broth.
  • Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving for brightness.
  • Swap noodles for rice or keep it low-carb by skipping starches.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days or frozen for 3 months.
