How to Prep Chicken and Veggies for Chicken Noodle Soup
- First, start by prepping 2 large or 3 small chicken breasts (or use leftover baked chicken breast). Season the chicken breasts with salt, Mrs. Dash seasoning to taste, and bake for 15 minutes at 425 F (220 C).
- While the chicken is baking, rinse all vegetables. Grate a small amount of the carrots and slice the rest.
- Break pasta noodles into smaller pieces, and cube the potatoes. Set aside until ready for use.
- Shred the cooked chicken breast using a couple of forks and set aside until ready for use.
How to Make Chicken Noodle Soup
- In a large stockpot or Dutch oven, add cut potatoes, sliced carrots, shredded baked chicken breast, 8 cups water, bay leaves, and a tablespoon of sea salt.
- Bring this mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat to medium heat or low heat. Let it simmer for 10 minutes.
- Then add the pasta noodles to the pot and stir it well. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes.
- Next, as the soup is simmering, sauté the rest of the vegetables. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add and sauté garlic and onion until caramelized. Then add grated carrots, Mrs. Dash seasoning, ground pepper, and chicken bouillon.
- Stir it all together and sauté for a couple of minutes, mixing every 15 seconds or so.
- Then, add sautéed vegetables into the pot and stir. Simmer for about 5 minutes or until the potatoes and carrots are cooked through.
- Finally, add the chopped parsley and dill. Turn off the heat and let the soup rest for an hour or so to absorb flavor.
- Your delicious Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup is ready to be served! Serve warm with some homemade French bread for a hearty and filling combination.
Notes
Did you know that soup freeze well? If this portion is too large for the size of your family, portion cooled soup into a serving containers that comes with a lid. Freeze up to a month. Thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat in a small pot on the stove. Tastes just like fresh, you will never tell it was frozen! You're welcome!
