On cold days like today I want one thing to eat – SOUP! Soup is one of my favorite meals on chilly days or when I am sick. Especially homemade soup. Living in Florida, it seems like warm days outnumber cold days. But this winter has been cold! We’ve had some really cold days and then some really warm days. It seems the weather doesn’t know if it should stay cold or just go back and forth.
Below is an easy recipe for Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup that I love. You can follow the recipe below using the exact veggies in the recipe, or you can adjust the recipe depending on the veggies you have in your fridge. With my coop, I have a differing array of veggies to cook with each week so some times, I may add veggies like spinach, squash and even cabbage!
If you eat gluten-free like me, check your chicken broth & poultry seasoning. Some are gluten-free but not all. Also – I use gluten-free noodles in my soup and I can’t even tell the difference!
Do you make chicken noodle soup? How is it similar or different to my recipe below?
Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup
Ingredients
2 tbsp. butter
½ large onion, diced
20 baby carrots, chopped
5 celery stalks, chopped
3 cups of chicken, shredded (I use rotisserie chicken because it has great flavor and is pre-cooked)
¾ tsp. basil
¾ tsp. oregano
½ tsp. rosemary
½ tsp. poultry seasoning
5-6 cups chicken stock
2-3 cups water
1 tsp. salt
½ tsp. ground pepper
3 bay leaves
8-12 oz. egg noodles
*Seasoning amounts are an estimate and can be adjusted according to taste.
Directions
1. In a large pot (I used a dutch oven), melt butter and sauté onion, carrots, and celery until tender (about 5 minutes).
2. Add in chicken, basil, oregano, rosemary, poultry seasoning, chicken stock, water, salt, pepper and bay leaves. Bring to a boil then simmer for about 30 minutes.
3. Add in egg noodles during the last 5 minutes of cooking
4. Serve with some crusty bread (I love the Rosemary and Olive Oil bread from Costco) and enjoy!

Thanks for coming to Addicted to Saving! Here’s a little bit about me so you can know who’s behind all these posts!
My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..
