Perfect for a chilly fall evening, this soup is a delight. It’s simple to make, doesn’t take forever and the aroma wafts through your home, making it smell like pure coziness. I love a good soup and there is nothing more comforting to the soul. I wouldn’t recommend freezing the leftovers but as yummy as it is, there probably won’t be any! (In case there are, however, refrigerate for up to a week.)

Ingredients

1 hour
6-8 servings
  1. 4 cupschicken stock
  2. 4 cupslow sodium chicken broth
  3. 1-2 cupswater, divided
  4. 2 cupsraw baby carrots, sliced into small pieces
  5. 2 lbsboneless, skinless chicken breasts
  6. To tasteHimalayan pink salt
  7. To tastepepper
  8. 1 tbspground thyme
  9. Halfpackage wide egg noodles

Cooking Instructions

1 hour
  1. 1

    Add the stock, broth and chicken breasts to a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil. Then reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer for approximately 20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Remove the chicken from the pot, let rest for 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Chop the carrots and add them to the broth. (I left celery out because we don’t dig it but feel free to add some here if you wish.) Kick the heat up to medium, bring back to a boil and then simmer for 5 minutes with the lid off.

  4. 4

    Chop up or pull the chicken apart into bite sized pieces and add it to the almost finished product, along with the seasonings. Simmer for 5 minutes with the lid off again.

  5. 5

    Give your soup a nice big stir, add some water if the broth is getting thin and replace the lid. Set the heat back to medium-low and simmer for about 15 more minutes, for good measure.

  6. 6

    During the last 8 or so minutes of simmering, add the egg noodles and a little more water, if needed. (As you can see in the picture, mine was lacking in liquid at the end so be mindful of that.)

  7. 7

    Remove from heat, serve immediately and enjoy the robust goodness!!

As a Southern gal and a mother, food is a huge part of my life, along with family and tradition. I'm also quite fond of traveling when I can, (especially to the beach), books, music, and any and all other types of brain food. Hope y'all can find something new to enjoy from my collection of diverse recipes that have been passed around my family, are self-taught or inspired from others, or a combination of all three! There’s nothing plain here! ✌🏻
