My mother and grandmother are both excellent cooks and one of the areas that they are best at is when it comes to make homemade soups and stews from scratch. When I was a little girl and even now as an adult...every time I get sick and I am not feeling well, my mother comes over and makes up a big batch of homemade chicken noodle soup.

This soup is not spicy at all and it's gentle on the tummy when you are not feeling well. In less than 45 minutes (from prep time to cooking time) your batch of homemade chicken noodle soup is on the dinner table.

Mom's Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup

1 bag pasta egg noodles
3 large skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 carton chicken stock (broth)
1 small box sliced carrots
2 to 3 stalks celery, sliced
2 to 3 cups water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon parsley
3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 tablespoons finely chopped onion


Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions. While the pasta is cooking, boil up the chicken in a separate pot with water until the chicken is done. Drain away water from pasta and set aside. Drain away the water from the cooked chicken and run the chicken breasts under cool tap water. Once cool, cut up the chicken into 1/4" and 1/2" pieces.

Pour the carton of chicken stock into a large stock pot along with 2 to 3 cups of water. Add in the sliced carrots, sliced celery, salt, ground black pepper, parsley and the finely chopped onion. Once the water is boiling, boil on high for 3 minutes and then reduce heat to medium. Stir in the cooked egg noodles and the cooked chopped chicken. Simmer soup over medium heat for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring often. Serve immediately with your favorite home baked dinner rolls.
