Chicken Soup Recipes

Homemade Chicken Soup is hard to beat. This recipe is filled with vegetables, herbs, and roasted chicken. It can help fight a cold and is the ultimate comfort food. For a more filling meal, just add egg noodles.

This Homemade Chicken Soup is like a shortcut version of grandma’s recipe which is just like my favorite jewish deli, Hymie’s. It can be ready in about an hour, and best of all, you won’t be sacrificing any flavor. Garlic, thyme, dill, and parsley add an aromatic flavor to the broth that’s both bright and savory. The herbs are a perfect complement to the juicy bits of roasted chicken.

I can’t think of a better soup to have on a frosty night or when you’re feeling under the weather. It’s excellent with a thick slice of crusty sourdough bread or with your favorite crackers on the side. Since the recipe doesn’t call for noodles, you can crumble the crackers in the broth or dip your hunk of bread right in.

If you must have noodles in your soup, I’ve got you covered. Classic Chicken Noodle Soup is the ultimate healthy comfort food. I also have rich and creamy versions like my Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup and Creamy Chicken Soup with Artichokes and Mushrooms.

Serve this soup with a slice of crusty bread on the side. Smear it with Roasted Garlic

Homemade Chicken Soup is also great with any style of dinner roll, like my classic Parker House Rolls. Or try Easy Brioche Rolls for soft rolls that have buttery flavor baked right in.

For a fancier bread to serve with this soup, homemade Garlic Knots are full of flavor and look gorgeous in a basket on the dinner table.

Freeze soup leftovers in an airtight freezer container, leaving ½ inch of space at the top. Or save freezer space by storing it in zip-top plastic freezer bags. It will last up to 3 months.

Use chicken stock in this soup and avoid broth if possible. Chicken stock is made with bones, so it’s much more rich and flavorful. But, if broth is all you have, the soup will still be delicious.

2. Next add in grated ginger and grated turmeric. Saute for 30 seconds to let the spices cook a bit, then add in chicken broth, chicken breast, rosemary, thyme, salt and pepper.
3. Bring soup to a boil, then stir in couscous. You’ll want the chicken to be covered by the broth so make sure you stir them down to the bottom.
4. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked.
5. Once chicken is cooked, remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a cutting board to shred with two forks. Add chicken back to pot then stir in frozen peas. If you find that you don’t have enough broth, feel free to add in another cup. Everyone likes their soup differently. Taste and adjust seasonings, if necessary. Enjoy.
