I have been blogging for over 10 years, so how is it possible I don’t have a classic Chicken Noodle Soup recipe on my blog. I have many variations of chicken soup, like this Chicken, Shiitake and Wild Rice Soup, this Chicken Sancocho, and this Chicken Soup with Spinach and Acini Di Pepe. Well problem solved!

Funny thing is, I make chicken noodle soup from scratch all the time, usually whenever I roast a chicken and make stock from the carcass. For this recipe, I simplified it so you can make it any night of the week using chicken broth. Of course, if you have your own stock you can use that instead. I love using boneless skinless chicken thighs which are more tender and less dry than using breasts. You can use them on or off the bone, whatever you have!

This is the best remedy for a cold, but also perfect anytime you crave comfort food. My kids love it, and it’s perfect to pack in a thermos for school lunch. You can use gluten-free noodles in place of egg noodles if you have an intolerance or gluten allergy. You don’t need an Instant Pot to make this, I provided direction for both stove and pressure cooker.
