Betty's Comforting Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make her husband's favorite chicken noodle soup. It's hearty, but not heavy in fat and calories. It makes a nice lunch, but can be used as a complete dinner!

Ingredients:

2 chicken breast halves, cooked and chunked (This may be leftover chicken, or you may cook fresh breasts in 2 tablespoons butter or margarine on top of stove, and chop it up.)
2 tablespoons butter or margarine (for vegetables)
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped carrots
1/2 cup chopped celery
2 cans (about 14 oz. to 15 oz. each) chicken broth
1 1/2 cups medium-sized egg noodles, uncooked
salt and pepper to taste

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter or margarine in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 cup chopped onion, 1 cup chopped carrots, and 1/2 cup chopped celery. Saute for about 10 minutes, until the onions and celery are clear, and the carrots are soft. Add the chunked chicken, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the chicken/vegetable mixture to a medium to large pot. Add 2 cans of chicken broth, and 1 1/2 cups of uncooked noodles. Place over medium heat, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover pot with a lid, and simmer about 15 minutes, until the noodles are cooked through and all the flavors are blended. Ladle soup into individual serving bowls. Serve with saltine crackers. Guaranteed to make you feel better, if you are feeling under the weather!

what if I dont have celery is it going to matter?

[bettyskitchen]

@talley3319 You may omit the celery, and the soup will still be very good.

Hi Betty! Is there a reason why you say to cook the chicken on the stove top first? Because I have a tendency to want to boil the chicken in chicken broth rather than to fry it. Not only that, but I use the broth in the soup after I've boiled the chicken in it.

Is doing it that way bad for any reason, like affecting the taste or something?

You're such a lovely woman and a great southern cook, it's really wonderful that you share so much of yourself on youtube.

@smokeemonkee Thanks for your sweet comment! I cook the chicken on the stove top in order to brown it up, and that makes it more flavorful. You may just put raw pieces of chicken in and cook them with the other ingredients, but they will stay white and will not add any flavor to the soup.

do you do home made chicken broth? and could one add wine to chicken soup or that more of a stew thing...

[bettyskitchen]

@steflondon88 You will see how to make chicken broth in my Chicken and Dumplings, Part I--the Chicken video. You may put wine in chicken soup, if you choose.
