The best homemade chicken noodle soup with egg noodles! It’s a classic dish that I’ve honestly never really tried before. Quick and easy to make and a dinner everyone will love!

Ingredients:

Soup

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 medium carrots , peeled and chopped
  • 2 ribs celery , chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic , minced
  • 2 bay leaves , fresh or dried
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 6 cups reduced sodium chicken broth
  • 1 pound chicken breast tenders (I like to use Rotisserie chicken), diced
  • Homemade egg noodles (recipe follows)
  • Fresh or dried parsley (optional)

Homemade Egg Noodles

  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 whole egg
  • 6 T cold water
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 cups flour

Instructions:

Soup

  • Make your egg noodles (recipe below) so that they can dry while you're making the soup.
  • Place a large pot over medium heat and add olive oil. Add vegetables and garlic to the pot and cook until soft, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Add bay leaves and season vegetables with salt and pepper, to taste. Add chicken broth to the pot and raise heat to bring liquid to a boil.
  • Add diced chicken to the pot, return soup to a boil, and reduce heat back to medium. Cook chicken for two minutes then add egg noodles.
  • Cook soup an additional five minutes or until noodles are tender and floating to the surface. Remove pot from heat.
  • Stir in parsley and/or dill. Remove bay leaves from soup and serve hot.

Homemade Egg Noodles

  • Beat eggs until well mixed.
  • Beat in water and salt.
  • Stir in flour with a spoon until combined. Once combined, separate into three balls.
  • Roll each ball out thin and cut into thins strips with a pizza cutter.
  • Let dry on a baking sheet with parchment paper or Silpat to avoid sticking.
