EASY HOMEMADE CHICKEN NOODLE
SOUP
 
1 large can canned chicken (or 2 chicken breasts boiled)
14 tsp. chicken soup base (or to taste)
14 cups water
1 stick real salted butter
1 cup sliced carrots
2 stalks chopped celery
1 small onion
1 package wide egg noodles
salt and pepper, to taste

In a large stock pot, melt butter. Add celery, carrots, and onions. Sauté until onions are clear, do not brown. Add water and soup base (1 tsp. per cup water). Add chicken and bring to a boil until carrots are tender. Add packaged egg noodles, salt and pepper. (Chicken broth can be used but soup base is much cheaper and has a better flavor in this soup).

Very good!! I used this recipe as a base but cut the butter to 1/2 stick, added a can of cream of chicken soup and also added a tsp of poultry seasoning.

I made this today and this is very good. I made it with rotisserie chicken.

Hi, I used your recipe as a guide to blend together some "make do" ingredients for a small batch to serve 4. My chicken broth was a carton in the pantry nearing exp date, which I condensed down some with a bay leaf celery leaf, a garlic clove and a carrot (i cut the carrot up for the soup)while I sauteed the onion celery in 2 tbsp. butter. My noodles were cooked thin spaghetti in Alfredo sauce, which I chopped roughly and added at the end. The little meat I had was some white meat Turkey bits from the freezer, added at the last with some frozen tiny peas.

This recipe gives you the option to use canned chicken or 2 chicken breasts. I have never used canned chicken but many many times I use rotisserie chicken. I also add a bay leaf, sometimes even mushrooms, another guy uses cabbage. Sometimes I have to add bouillon cubes also. Personal preference really.
