The Best Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup is made with tender homemade egg noodles to warm your heart and soul on a chilly day. It’s a classic–only elevated.
We’re plodding through another wave of polar vortex storms and I can’t get enough of warm soups and fresh bread to go along with it. One of my all time favorite soups is a good classic chicken noodle because it’s simple, delicious, and oh so comforting! The only thing better than chicken noodle soup is the BEST chicken noodle soup. What exactly makes the best chicken noodle soup, you ask? Why, homemade egg noodles, of course!
Don’t let the homemade noodles scare you away from making this recipe. They are incredibly simple to make with only 3 ingredients. It’s well worth the 20 minutes of extra effort. Feel free to use leftover chicken to make of for the time spent on the noodles. I wouldn’t steer you wrong!
Start with a trio of carrots, celery and sweet yellow onions, then add some garlic to the mix. Give them a quick sauté and then add the remaining ingredients, save the noodles.
Make the noodles while the rest of the soup is simmering away. Toss the noodles in the pot during the last 3 to 5 minutes of cooking. The fresh noodles will cook rather quickly, so keep an eye on them. The tender chew of fresh noodles really elevates the flavor of the soup!
All in all, the best homemade chicken noodle soup is ready in an hour. I don’t think that’s too much to ask for a big bowl of steamy comfort on a cold day.

Instructions
- Melt the butter with the light olive oil in a large stock pot set over medium heat. Once the butter is bubbly, add the onions, carrots, celery, and seasonings. Stir to coat the vegetables and continue to cook until onions are translucent; stirring frequently.
