How to make the best homemade chicken noodle soup you will ever have! This recipe takes awhile but it isn’t complicated at all. If you have a spare 2 hours, it’ll be worth it to try this out! You will never want chicken noodle soup from a can again.

What you’ll need:
1 (4-5lb) whole fryer chicken
3 carrots, chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
1 Tbsp prepared minced garlic (5-6 cloves)
2 tsp dried parsley flakes
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp dried thyme
2 bay leaves
approx 6 oz frozen egg noodles or fettucine or linguine
2 Tbsp flour mixed with 3 Tbsp water

Start by cutting your chicken into pieces to make it easier to remove the meat from the bones later on. In a stock pot or dutch oven, bring the chicken parts (skin, bones and meat) and 2 quarts water to a boil. Gently boil for 30 minutes. Skim off any foamy stuff once it comes to a boil.
After 30 minutes, remove the chicken meat and shred finely. Return any bones back into the stock and gently boil for another 45 minutes. Remove the bones and skin from the stock and strain through a sieve or colander to remove any chicken pieces left over.
Add enough water to the stock to make 2 quarts and return to the pot. Add in the carrots, celery, garlic and herbs and spices. Boil 10 minutes.
Add in frozen egg noodles or pasta and cook another 10 minutes.
Return shredded chicken to the pot and add in flour mixture. Boil another 5 minutes until chicken is heated through and broth is thickened. Serve and enjoy!

  1. Best recipe. Been using this one for a few years now. My 9 year old just tested positive for Covid and he’s having a really hard time. This is always my go to recipe and he loves it when he’s sick. He is rejecting everything else but this. It always helps! Thank you

  2. That looks like you need a fork to eat it, the pieces are so big. It looks like a lot of trouble to make.

  3. Great soup! One thing I have to say… Cooked bones aren’t good for dogs. Raw bones are best if you give them any.

  4. Y’all best soup hands down but if you want a lil tang add fresh lemon juice to it it taste exactly like wawa chicken noodle soup if you’ve had it

  5. I always go back to this recipe after discovering it maybe 4 years ago and I have to say… still the best recipe for chicken soup out there. Thanks a bunch as always

  6. 😢 I’m almost in tears. I’ve been searching for this recipe for over 5 years now. My old account was deactivated and all my videos were lost by mistake. This is indeed the best chicken noodle soup I’ve ever tried. I knew i had the right video when i hear him say Bruno’s name. 🙌🏽

  7. Aside from your delicious soup, I loved seeing your fur baby!!! I raised 4 Dobermans over a 25 year period. Best dig in the world!!! I'm getting ready to make chicken noodle soup and will be using your recipe notes to follow!!
