My family is a big fan of old school comfort food, and you can’t get much more old school than chicken noodle soup. But let’s be honest, it’s not the fastest thing in the world to make from scratch. So, like most things in life, I had to figure out how to make it fast – oh and I wanted it to taste like the old fashioned stuff. Normally I don’t share such basic recipes, but my daughter has recently moved out and asked me to write this (plus another coming soon) for her. And since I started this blog originally as a scrapbook for my children – this post is for her.
Quick Homestyle Chicken Noodle Soup
Ingredients:
- Rotisserie Chicken (breast meat only – use the rest for another recipe) cut in small pieces
- 2 boxes (4 cups) chicken broth
- 1/2 cup onion, finely diced (1/4 of a large onion)
- 1 stalk celery, finely diced
- 1(9 oz.) package fresh fettuccine noodles (I like Butoni – from the fresh food section) – cut in 3 inch sections
- 1 can (12 oz.) of sliced carrots
- 1/2 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon ground sage
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions:
In the bottom of a heavy bottom pan (like a dutch oven) on medium high heat, use the olive oil to sauté the onions and celery until translucent. Add in the chicken stock, diced chicken breast, carrots, salt, pepper and sage. Once the broth is boiling, then add in the pasta pieces and cook three minutes. Serves 6 people.

It’s so super fast that it’s the perfect meal on those cold, blustery days. Just stop by the grocery store, pick up the ingredients (plus some good bread) and you’ll have Chicken Noodle Soup on the table in no time flat. Much easier than making it 100% from scratch and it’s seriously good!

I make chicken soup from a rotisserie chicken too. Kroger has an onion/celery/carrot blend in the frozen veg section, so I don’t even have to open multiple cans or chop any veggies!
Sending Love and hugs for a wonderful New Year.
