Best Chicken Noodle Soup Ever

So this picture is not pretty, but TRUST me when I say that this is the best home made chicken noodle soup you will ever eat in your life! My sister Heidi gave me this recipe years ago and it is a hit to all those who taste it! To make this soup even better, make home made noodles to go in it as well. Yummy!!  But here is a perfect soup for those snowy days...the one's we don't get here in AZ.
Chicken Noodle Soup

2 chicken breasts
8-9 cups of chicken broth (or 9 cups of water plus 9 tsp of chicken bullion)
1 stick of butter (8 Tbls)
1/3 cup flour
3 carrots, chopped
3 stalks of celery, chopped
1 can cream of chicken soup
Noodles

Cook chicken in broth for about 30 minutes over Med-High heat. Remove the chicken and cut into cubes. In a separate pan melt butter and then add flour. Cook for a few minutes to make a rue, and then slowly pour that mixture into the chicken broth. Add the cream of chicken soup, carrots, celery, and chicken in the broth. Add Salt and Pepper to taste. Simmer until carrots and celery are cooked (or about 15 minutes before you are ready to serve). Then boil noodles (in a separate pan), drain, and add to the soup mixture.
This can be served over mashed potatoes or as plain soup

  1. Yummy stuff Jessica! It was a hit with my family! I added a cup of frozen corn because we like corn in our chicken soup.

  2. This soup is super easy to make and tastes AMAZING. I used the frozen egg noodles Jessica edand it gave it almost a dumpling taste. I also added peas and corn. I will be making this again for sure.
