The classic Easy Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup with Potatoes is for cozy family meals and chilly cold evenings.
This classic chicken noodle soup beats the canned one: by a million points! It’s the perfect comfort food for many. If you haven’t had some in a while, don’t hesitate to make it. Chicken fills you up and soup is easier to digest than many foods, so it’s only beneficial for your body. I like to add potatoes into it for the fiber and carrots for the beta-carotene. When you have a cold, chicken soup is comforting. Here are some tips to fight the cold season!
Onions have antioxidants that fight inflammation and reduce cholesterol levels. Celery helps to treat constipation. Also, it can reduce levels of stress hormones and also fights inflammation. The chicken also is linked to higher levels of serotonin, the “feel-good” hormone. It also improves brain function and helps to build muscles.

What do I need to make this recipe?
Chicken noodle soups are the ultimate, go-to meal. If you are like me, soups are always a great idea. This is a classic chicken noodle soup, so you will need ingredients that you are well aware of:
Chicken: I like to mix it up and use thighs and some chicken breast pieces.
Onion: Just need the whole for flavor of the water, without the chopped onion pieces and still getting all the nutrition from it.
Potatoes: Yup, I add potatoes in here for the ultimate chicken noodle soup.
Carrots: Carrots make the soup shine, add flavor and they are good for health.
Celery: It’s a must for a chicken noodle soup.
Noodles: Add your favorite.
Herbs: I use parsley, but dill will work too.
Finally, you will need salt and pepper.
TIP: I add a pinch of turmeric spice for more flavor and color for the soup.
Everything that’s in it! The beauty of soup is that everything works together to create the flavor. All of the vegetables, spices, and herbs complement each other and meld into a delicious and nourishing soup! You can also add things like garlic, onion powder, or bay leaves if you’d like.
The secret is putting the ingredients you love in it. For example, in this soup, I added potatoes because they’re filling and add so much texture (and delicious flavor) to the soup. But that’s me! If you don’t like potatoes and would rather add something else then you should go for it.
Yes! Pop it in an airtight container and freeze it, but I would recommend freezing it without the noodles. Then, defrost your soup serving and add the noodles as you’re reheating it so they don’t get mushy.
