Humble ingredients shine in this heartwarming chicken noodle soup. This simple combination of carrots, celery, chicken, noodles and broth never seems to disappoint.
This chicken soup will be on your dinner table in less than an hour. Smiling faces will await you, especially from your little ones. My kids love chicken noodle soup after a long school day in the winter.

As you know by my recent post, I love chicken soup. I like the addition of the bay leaves here. I'll have to try that soon.
Good seeing you today.
This looks so good! I will be making it this week. Thank you!
I made this last night. It was a hit. My 3 year old even ate some – well noodles – but they were flavorful! (he's the pickiest!) I loved how "nudely" it was.!! Thank you for sharing this!
This looks so good! I posted a chicken noodle soup myself just recently, it must be that time of year! I would love to have a big bowl of that right now, our weather is so cold!
Heart warming indeed! We had chicken for dinner last night so the stock pot is bubbling away as I type. Another great recipe Kirsten.
Hello from VIGO SPAIN. I'm friends with Rani and I love sharing my recipes and blog and learn from yours, I invite you to visit. Greetings

Who doesn't love chicken noodle soup!?! I like to use consume' in mine to give it an extra rich chickeny quality. Love your pot!
this soup looks so good. yum!
@highplains: That is all I use. I buy the organic chicken one in a big jar at Costco. It is my favorite.
Have you tried Better Than Bouillon's stock paste? I passed it over for years, assuming that something so small couldn't taste good. But Bon Appetit gave it high marks. No cans, no can openers, no tin to chuck in the recycle bin every meal. And hate to rub this in, but about $3 for 9 quarts when i get it at the commissary. Cheers!
Hühnernudelsuppe ist wirklich das Beste, um gegen kaltes Winterwetter (und lästige Erkältungen…) anzukämpfen. Letzte Woche hab ich auch einen großen Topf davon gekocht. Liebe Grüße, die andere Kirsten ;o)
Chicken Noodle Soup is on our dinner table once a week, ours is very different from yours though so it will be nice to try a variation on the theme. Thanks for sharing ;0)
Egg noodle is quite similar to our italian tagliatelle…I have to try this! Have a nice day, hugs, Flavia
As they say, chicken noodle soup cures anything and is good for the soul. I have been having trouble posting on your blog, hope it works this time!
Noodle soups are a comfort for hungry tummies! It is an old-time favourite in my house too. Love all the wonderful flavours in the soup, looks delicious!
I could live on nothing but soup in the winter, especially yummy soups like this one.
What a gorgeous soup and such beautiful photographs.
I would seriously love this at the moment. I've had a cold for the last 2 weeks, and my mother always says chicken soup is the best thing for it. It looks so delicious. Oh, and I love your red pot!
This is one of my favorite winter meals, perfect for a cold evening. Your soup looks fantastic!
That looks so perfectly classic! When we didn't have it out of a can as a kid it looked just like that :p
Chicken noodle soup is just the best!!! I'm surprised I couldn't smell this simmering from Highlands Ranch.
Chicken soup is always for all good reasons. Love to have a sip of your heart warming one…
I wish we were neighbors. I would have made a mad dash to your house for a bowl of this soup.Today we had a freezing snow then a rain storm. Wish I made soup today!!
