My Mom got hit with the flu a couple weeks ago and the second I hung up the phone with her sounding weak as a kitten I sprang into action making a huge pot of Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup from memory, which I delivered less than an hour later to her doorstep. Actually, I can’t say it’s my recipe. It’s actually hers…or rather, her Mom’saka my Grandma!
That’s right, this Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup is so good that the recipe has been handed down through three generations. It’s the most simple homemade chicken noodle soup you could ever imagine, ready in 30 minutes, made with fridge and pantry staples, and soothes the achy/sick/sad soul. Super easy to make gluten-free, too!
I first shared my Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup recipe way back in 2009, just a few months into my IGE journey, but with soup and sick season upon us I thought this would be the perfect time to re-feature it.
Back then I shared that we ate this soup every time we visited my Grandparent’s house in Ohio. No herbs, no fuss – just everyday ingredients coming together to create one of the best bowls of soup on the planet.
Like a little black dress, everyone needs a go-to, committed to memory, Chicken Noodle Soup recipe to pull out at a moment’s notice, and I hope this will become yours. It’s probably my all-time favorite soup recipe here on IGE. Ready to enjoy in no time, and perfect for pairing with Gluten Free Focaccia or Gluten Free Cornbread!

How to Make Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup
Start by heating butter and olive oil in a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add carrots, celery, andonion or shallot, seasonwith homemade seasoned salt and pepper, then saute until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Add minced garlic then saute for 1 more minute.
If I’m making this soup for someone who’s under the weather I’ll usually double up on the butter to make it extra decadent and comforting. It’s the right thing to do.
Next addchicken stock then turn the heat up and bring to a boil.
Meanwhile, chop chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, season with salt and pepper, then add to the boiling chicken broth along with gluten free or regular pasta.
My Grandma always added spaghetti noodles broken in half in her soup. Isn’t that great?! I’ve used pretty much every pasta under the sun in this soup over the years, but for this batch I broke gluten free spaghetti into small pieces in honor of my Grandma. Thinly sliced Gluten Free Egg Noodles are an excellent choice too!
Turn the heat down to medium then simmer until the pasta is cooked through. The chicken should be perfectly cooked bythat point too. Ladle the steamysoup into bowls then devour. Like I said, simple and soul-satisfying!

Cathy B. 03.26.2024 I love this chicken noodle soup recipe, especially the advice to add a little more butter for the ailing. I added a little red bell pepper and dried herbes de Provence to mine. I made this for lunch for my teacher daughter during a particularly chilly spring break day in Alberta.

My very picky daughters love this soup! They even ask me to put it in thermoses in their school lunches if we have any leftovers! And I love how easy it is! Thanks for another great recipe. We live in frigid Minnesota so I’m making it a lot this time of year. :)

This was amazing according to my family! Switch out veggie stock for chicken, linguini noodles for spaghetti and put Lawry’s seasoning salt when I baked the chicken! 2 chicken beasts instead of one for my meat lovers!
