Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup
Have you ever been craving chicken noodle soup but you’re short on time? This Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe is so easy and can be made quickly by using a rotisserie chicken! Of course, you can make it with an uncooked whole chicken but either way, it’s yummy! I’ve shared this easy recipe below and make sure to use the frozen egg noodles(or you can make your own)as these large noodles are part of what makes this chicken noodle soup recipe so good!
I prefer to use Grandma’s Fresh Frozen Homestyle Egg Noodles. They are usually in the freezer section near the pasta or rolls. If you can’t find them, make sure to ask as they always seem to be hard to find in the grocery store freezer section. The other brand I like is called Reames Frozen Egg Noodles. Both are so good and I can’t make homemade egg noodles from scratch that taste as good as Grandma’s or Reames so I just buy them! Make sure you get the wide egg noodle size. Those work best for this recipe.

Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup
Equipment
- 1 Large Simmer Pot
Ingredients
- 1 -Rotisserie Chicken You can use an uncooked whole chicken if you don't want to use a rotisserie chicken, just increase the simmering time to 2 .5 hours or until the chicken meat is tender and falling off the bone.
- 2 -32 oz. Boxes chicken stock
- Water to cover the chicken
- 2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Pepper
- 3-4 Carrots, peeled and sliced into bite sized pieces
- 3-4 Celery stalks with leaves, diced into smaller pieces
- 1/2 Small white onion diced into smaller pieces
- 1 Bag Grandma's Homemade Egg Noodles or Reames Frozen Egg Noodles
- ½ 8 oz. Container of chicken flavored Better than Bouillon seasoning or 4-6 chicken bouillon cubes
Instructions
- Place the rotisserie chicken in a large pot and add two 32oz. boxes of chicken stock and then add enough water to cover the chicken.
- Add 2 teaspoons of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper, or to taste.
- Bring the pot to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and let it simmer for one hour or until the meat is falling off the bone.
- Remove the chicken from the pot and set it aside to cool.
- Add the bag of frozen egg noodles to the pot with the remaining chicken stock. Stir to separate the noodles and bring to a low boil over medium to medium-high heat. While the chicken is cooling, peel and dice the carrots, celery, and onions.
- Once the noodles start to boil, add the chopped carrots, celery, and onions to the pot. You can add more liquid with more chicken stock if needed. The liquid will evaporate while boiling the chicken so add as needed or you can add more water if you don't have more chicken stock and add more of the bouillon flavoring.
- Debone the cooled chicken and break into small pieces. Don't over shred the meat and add the chicken back into the pot and stir every so often.
- Add about half of the container of chicken flavored Better than Bouillon Seasoning or 4-6 chicken bouillon cubes to the pot. This is also to taste so make sure to taste the broth to make sure it has enough flavor. Add more bouillon if needed. You want a rich chicken flavored broth.
- Stir everything together and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the carrots are fork-tender and the noodles are fully cooked.
- Taste the broth and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper or bouillon if needed.
- Serve hot and enjoy your homemade chicken noodle soup!
Enjoy!

I live in Canada and have never seen frozen egg noodles! I guess I would sub with regular dried? What makes frozen noodles superior?
My grandma used to make them homemade but I tried it once and the frozen ones from the store were better but you could try that. I would just look for a an egg noodle recipe and try one out or you could do the regular egg noodles but it’s not as good. I’ve done it that way when I couldn’t get the frozen noodles and it’s definitely better with the bigger, thicker noodles. I would search on google for grandmas frozen egg noodles or Reames frozen egg noodles and you might be able to find them or something similar in Canada. Probably depends on what part you live in too. They can be hiding in the grocery store freezer section too and are hard to find sometimes so maybe try asking the grocery store employees if they have any of them. I hope you can find some as this is an amazing recipe and the noodles are what make it so good! Let me know if you try it and how it ends up for you!
