Steps

  • 1
    In 3-quart saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add garlic, onions and carrots; cook 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

    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.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Pasta continues to absorb liquid, so if you make this easy homemade chicken noodle soup ahead of time, plan to cook the noodles separately and stir them in just before serving. If you’d like, bypass the egg noodles, and add rotini, fusilli or cavatappi pasta for a change of pace.
  • tip 2
    To ensure even cooking, cut vegetables so they are similar in size.
  • tip 3
    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.
  • tip 4
    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.
  • tip 5
    No green onions? Replace with 1 medium onion, chopped for soup.
  • tip 6
    Reheat broth-based soups over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until hot—or reheat in the microwave.
