Quick Chicken Noodle Soup with Homemade Egg Noodles

This is the best ever homemade chicken noodle soup with egg noodles because of just that – the homemade chicken noodles that go in it. It’s hot, flavorful, delicious, and full of easy to make homemade egg noodles that the whole family will love!

Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup

When it’s cold outside I crave two things – hot chocolate and hot soup. I’ve been downing mugs full of this healthy hot chocolate on every cold day and at least once a week, I’ve been making this quick chicken noodle soup for dinner. It’s easy to make and even better the second day, so I like to make it on Sunday and eat for the next few days for lunch.

This recipe is a combination of a Rachael Ray chicken noodle soup recipe (with my own tweaks) combined with my Grandma’s homemade egg noodle recipe. If you want to skip the soup altogether, you could always just cook up the noodles in some chicken broth and eat the noodles. Not the best decision I’ve ever made, but I did it a lot during my college days when I was just craving these noodles.

A couple of years ago my grandma sent all of her kids and married grandkids a recipe book of all of her favorite recipes. It has some of the best recipes in it but a lot of them are missing pieces like how much salt or how to mix the ingredients together. These homemade chicken noodles were one of those recipes missing a few details, so I’ve filled in the blanks for you with this recipe!

The noodles are really the reason this chicken noodle soup is so good!

Step 1 – Make your egg noodles by mixing eggs, flour, salt, and water.

Step 2 – Separate dough into balls.

Step 3 – Roll each ball out thin, cut in strips with a pizza cutter.

Step 4 – Let dry. I like to do it on a baking sheet lined with parchent paper or a Silpat so they don’t stick.

How to Make the Chicken Noodle Soup

Have you ever noticed that all Rachael Ray recipes take 30 minutes IF you are moving fast from start to finish? She obviously doesn’t have kids interrupting her cooking or someone coming to the door selling things. Or a cell phone beeping every few minutes with people wanting your attention. I pretty much never get to cook from start to finish without interruption. That being said, this recipe really can come together in 30 minutes or less if you’re focused.

I really like to make this recipe with rotisserie chicken because not only does it give it a great flavor, it also makes it that much faster without having to cook the chicken as well. One of my favorite secrets to add flavor to the soup is to throw in some of the skin from the rotisserie chicken with the oil in the very first step and cook the skin with the soup. Just make sure to remove it before you serve! The skin gives the soup an incredible flavor, more than just the seasonings themselves.

The seasonings are still good though if you prefer to stick with regular chicken and no skin!

I made a video to show you how to make the soup. It’s super simple – just cook up your ingredients and add in your chicken and noodles very last! One of my favorite go-to meals and one of my family’s favorite homemade chicken noodle recipes!
