Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup with Dark Meat

There’s nothing quite like a warm bowl of chicken noodle soup to make you feel cozy and comforted. It’s the ultimate go-to when you’re sick, craving something homey, or just want a hearty meal the whole family will love. Adults love it, kids love it, and homemade chicken noodle soup just tastes better than anything from a can.

This recipe is our favorite because it’s made with chicken thighs. Using dark meat makes the broth richer, juicier, and more flavorful, giving you the best chicken soup with dark meat you’ve ever had. Tender chicken, flavorful noodles, and plenty of vegetables combine to create a classic comforting chicken soup that’s easy to make any night of the week.

Ingredients you need:

  • Chicken thighs – why this soup is so good! Some people like chicken breast or a whole chicken (if this is you check out my chicken noodle soup made with a whole chicken) for noodle soup but I recommend chicken thighs because they offer the best taste (also quicker to cook!).
  • Noodles – Wide egg noodles are perfect for chicken noodle soup because they hold up well in the broth and soak up all the delicious flavor.
  • Carrots & Celery – These veggies add nutrition and a crunch to the soup.
  • Liquid – chicken broth and water, these together make a good chicken broth base.
  • Thickener – we mix flour and milk together to make a slurry that thickens up the broth.

How to make Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup

Put the chicken thighs in a large soup pot, covering them with chicken broth and water. Bring to a boil and simmer until the chicken is fully cooked.

Storing and Freezing Noodle Soup:

Storing: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

To freeze: Allow the soup to cool completely before putting in freezer safe containers. If you are freezing this to for a future meal I recommend undercooking the noodles before freezing soup to prevent them from getting soggy. You can freeze chicken noodle soup for up to 3 months.

    The flavor was perfect. Delicious. To many noodles. By the time my husband ate the broth was a 1/3 of what it was. Next time 1/2 bag of noodles and cook more for day two 👍🏻
