This Easy Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup is one of our favorite soups to have on cold winters day. Soup is done in less than an hour and it’s so yummy with warm, buttery french bread.

Three easy steps to make awesome Chicken Noodle Soup:

1- Add flavor by browning your carrots, celery and onions in butter first. Then simmer in broth, water and seasoning until tender.

2- Toss in the chicken. To save time I use frozen fully-cooked diced chicken but you could certainly dice two fully-cooked chicken breasts.

3- Add the noodles last. Noodles cook really, really fast. Watch them at this stage since they have a tendency to fall apart if they cook too long. Five to ten minutes cook time is all you’ll need.

That’s it. I’ve found that this stockpot method works best for our busy family. It’s quick and the soup comes out flavorful.
