    Chicken Noodle Soup – Instant Pot, Stove Top

     

     

    Winters have officially arrived here. Embracing the first Arctic blast of the season tonight. With temperature dipping into single digits, its brutally cold out here.  I definitely need something warm and comforting for dinner tonight.

    Known for its curing properties to treat symptoms of common cold and influenza, this homemade chicken noodle soup is a great soup to have when you or your loved one is under the weather or even when you just want to have something warm and comforting.

     

    WHAT IS CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP

    Chicken noodle soup is a variation to the classic Chicken soup which is made by simmering chicken and various other ingredients in water. The classic chicken soup consists of a clear chicken broth, with pieces of chicken and/or vegetables. 

    The soup may have additions such as pasta, noodles, dumplings or some grains such as rice, quinoa, or barley. Chicken soup is known for its curing properties to treat symptoms of common cold and influenza.

    INGREDIENTS FOR CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP

    ONION -  I prefer yellow onion, as it has mild flavor as compared to red onion.

    GARLIC - adds a ton of flavor to the soup. Fresh garlic or garlic powder, both work fine.

    GINGER - hot and zesty, peppery ginger, adds spiciness and warmth to the soup

    CELERY - adds a nice texture to the soup.

    CARROTS - carrots add an extra flavor to this soup, you can chop the carrots or shred it.

    CHICKEN - I am using boneless, skinless chicken breast for this recipe. However, bone-in chicken may also be substituted instead of chicken breast. If using bone-in chicken, make sure you have enough chicken meat to add to the soup after you shred the chicken.

    I sometimes even use the leftover rotisserie to make this soup and it tastes delicious.

    NOODLES - I am using egg noddles, however noodles of choice may be used. 

    HERBS - herbs that go well with this soup and some of my family favorites include thyme, rosemary, parsley. I use one or combination of herbs to add more depth and flavor to this soup. You can use any herb of your choice.

    SPICES - love the herbal, minty flavor of bay leaf

    BROTH - low sodium broth adds an additional layer of flavor. Low sodium broth helps control the sodium intake. You can also use a bouillon, mix it with water as per package instructions and use it.
