Easy Chicken Noodle Soup
Loaded with good-for-you ingredients and full of flavor and comfort- this Easy Chicken Noodle Soup is perfect for chilly weather but not too heavy for warmer days.
Bitter cold temperatures have arrived and I don’t know about you, but I’m ready to cozy up with a comforting bowl of satisfying chicken noodle soup! Trust me you guys are going to really enjoy this soup- Brad loved it so much, he ate it for lunch and dinner in the same day!
I really appreciate a delicious, easy chicken noodle soup recipe with classic ingredients. We have the usual suspects here – celery, carrot and onion. For the chicken, I kept things super simple and used a rotisserie chicken. If you ask me, the noodles are the most essential component for a hearty, warming chicken noodle soup. I went with my favorite healthy egg noodle alternative, No Yolks noodles, made from egg whites and no cholesterol. They are low in fat and sodium and so fluffy, with the most wonderful texture.
I especially love how No Yolks noodles work so well in a variety of dishes, from soup to casserole to salad… and even chili. Did you see my recipe for Bison Taco Chili Over Noodles? So good and such a fabulous use of these noodles!
I like my soups to be nice and chunky, with a bold, flavorful broth. I really packed in the chicken and veggies, so feel free to use another cup or two of chicken broth or even water, to get your desired consistency. Chicken noodle soup is one of the easiest soups to whip up in a flash (especially when you use shredded rotisserie chicken), the ingredients are inexpensive and it feeds a crowd.
Don’t forget to add the lemon juice at the very end. It adds a big fat punch of freshness, and well, I promise you won’t be able to stop at just one bowl!
I hope you guys LOVE this Easy Chicken Noodle Soup! It’s:
Healthy
Savory
Comforting
Filling
Vegetable-forward
& Perfect for colder weather
This would make a delicious and comforting meal when you’re craving something light yet satisfying. If you try this recipe, let us know! Leave a comment and don’t forget to tag a photo #kimscravings on Instagram so we can see. Enjoy!
