Easy Chicken Noodle Soup

  • Prep 15 min
  • Total 25 min
  • Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 8 medium green onions, sliced (1/2 cup)
  • 2 medium carrots, chopped (1 cup)
  • 2 cups cubed cooked chicken
  • 2 cups uncooked egg noodles (4 oz)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or 1 teaspoon parsley flakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 dried bay leaf
  • 6 cups Progresso™ chicken broth (from two 32-oz cartons)

Steps

  • 1
    In 3-quart saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add garlic, onions and carrots; cook 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • 2
    Stir in remaining ingredients. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover; simmer about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until carrots and noodles are tender. Remove bay leaf.

  • Pasta continues to absorb liquids as it sits, so if you make this recipe ahead, it will be less brothy. If you like, add additional chicken broth as you reheat it.
  • To ensure even cooking, cut vegetables so they are similar in size.
  • Most broth-based soups freeze well for up to 6 months. Pour soup into freezer containers, leaving 1/2 to 1 inch headspace because soups expand as they freeze.
  • Refrigerate soups in shallow containers so they cool rapidly. Once completely cooled, cover tightly. Most soups with vegetables or meat should be kept in the fridge for no more than 3 days.
  • No green onions? Replace with 1 small onion, chopped for soup.
  • Reheat broth-based soups over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until hot—or reheat in the microwave.
