How to Make Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup
Prep (5 Minutes)
- Shred pre-cooked chicken, or drain canned chicken.
- Chop carrots, celery, and onion.
Cook (30 Minutes)
- Add butter, broth, cream of chicken, cream of celery, and evaporated milk to a large pot.
- Pour in chopped carrots, chopped celery, chopped onion, and shredded chicken.
- Add seasonings. Bring soup to a boil and then turn the heat down to a simmer until the veggies are softened.
- Once veggies are soft, add egg noodles and simmer until they are al dente.
Often when I make this, I'm looking for comfort. When I want to do as little work as possible, I use canned chicken and buy pre-chopped veggies at the store. Literally, all you do is add all the ingredients into a big pot and stir... it's that easy.
