Yesterday, I opened a can of chicken noodle soup and had some with a slice of homemade cornbread. It was so good! So, of course, you know what I was thinking. I can make this myself. Who needs canned soup when you can make it homemade. I think what really made it so good was the homemade cornbread. In our house, you can’t have soup, unless you have homemade cornbread. It goes hand-in-hand. Simply delicious!
Ingredients: (Making Chicken Stock)- 3 chicken leg quarters
- 2 onions (cut into quarters)
- 3 celery stalks (cut into large pieces)
- 1/2 garlic head (cut into large pieces)
- 7 sprigs of thyme
- salt and pepper to season
Ingredients (Making Chicken Noodle Soup)
- 1 onion diced
- 2-3 celery stalks cut into small squares
- 1 cup of square-shaped carrots (or just cut 2 carrots into small circle pieces)
- 8 ounces of egg noodles
- 1 cup of chicken (add more if you like)
- parsley for decoration
- salt and pepper
- additional seasonings of choice
Directions:
Begin by making your chicken stock. Put your chicken, celery, garlic, thyme and salt and pepper in pot. Pour in enough water to cover chicken and vegetables. Let cook for about 1 1/2 hours.
Drain into a colander. Make sure to put colander inside another large pot or bowl. You will use the chicken stock for making the soup.
In another pot, saute celery and onion until soft.
Pour about 2 quarts of the chicken stock over the sauteed onions and celery.
Pour in egg noodles and cook for about 5 or 6 minutes. Check to make sure noodles are done. I poured in too many noodles when I first made this. I think that I only need about 1 cup of noodles. It will depend on how many noodles you want in the soup. Personally, I think chicken noodle soup should be more about the juice.
I must admit that I used canned carrots here. Why? I wanted my carrots to be square-shaped. I just love the look of them in chicken noodle soup. (If you’re going to use raw carrots, you’ll need to saute them when you saute the onions and celery to soften them.)
Put in the chicken. Simmer for about 1 or 2 additional minutes. Season with salt and pepper and other seasonings of choice. I think the next time I prepare this dish I will throw in a couple spoons of canned cream of chicken to thicken the broth a little. Pour into a nice bowl and put a slice of homemade cornbread on the side and you’re all set. Enjoy.

Hi CJ! Yes, chicken soup always hit the spot….
I love making chicken stock–it’s so nice to have in the freezer when I want to make soup! This recipe looks yummy…just perfect for this ridiculously cold weather we’ve been having!

Hi Stacie! I should learn to make enough chicken stock to freeze for other uses. Will think about stocking up next time…
Tis the season for chicken soup! I love the addition of the homemade chicken stock. I always use stock from a box, but this sounds like such an easy way to make stock! I’ll have tobtry it!

Hi Scarlett! I prefer to use homemade chicken stock, but if I’m in a hurry, I will use the stock from the box. However, it doesn’t taste as great as the homemade kind.
This soup looks so yummy and I could use some right about now with my lovely sinus infection and stuffed up nose. I’ll be trying this soon.

Hi Sandy! You’ll definitely need a bowl of this soup, then. It’ll come right in handy….
Oh the memories! This looks just like the kind my grandma used to make – big ol’ egg noodles and all! Happy to have stumbled upon this via #SITSBlogging, and looking forward to attempting a delicious homemade soup for myself!

Hi Sandra! I don’t have a goal but I am definitely trying to collect as many soup recipes as possible for the chilly weather.
Hi Sharon~ I’m stopping in from Let’s Get Real today. What I love about this recipe is that it is truly homemade. I’ve made homemade chicken noodle soup, but each time my father gives me his homemade broth. I really need to put on my big girl pants and make my own. I’m excited to try. Thanks for the collander tip. I can just imagine my reaction when I forget to collect the broth. Big, big mistake!

Hi Christina! So nice of your father to give you homemade broth. That cuts down on a lot of the work. The tip on the colander…comes in handy for sure since I almost forgot and poured my broth down the sink.
This looks sooooo delicious!! I can’t wait to try it – chicken soup is one of my favorites. Thanks so much for linking up at #SoMe2 this week – hope to see you again next week!
