The Best Damn Chicken Noodle Soup

January 24, 2019 By Kari 5 Comments

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Power-packed with nutrient-rich veggies and a flavourful homemade stock,
this is the best damn chicken noodle soup you’ll ever have!

the best damn chicken noodle soup-1

This soup is in regular rotation in our house. The recipe is courtesy my Uncle Lor, who was kind enough to share it with me, and now I’m passing it to you! It’s a labour of love (not too difficult, but an investment of your time). When you see your family slurping from their bowls and asking for seconds, it makes every minute of peeling, chopping, and stirring totally worth it! It’s also great having some of this special soup stocked in the freezer, which comes in especially handy when family members come down with a cold.

The Best Damn Chicken Noodle Soup

Time Investment:

I won’t sugarcoat it – you’ll need approximately two hours.

You’ll Need:

  • four litres of homemade chicken or turkey stock (see the Best Damn Chicken Stock recipe here)
  • six to eight skinned and de-boned chicken thighs (if you have enough left over roast turkey or chicken, you can use that instead)
  • salt and pepper
  • garlic powder
  • three tablespoons of vegetable oil
  • one large yellow onion
  • one large purple top turnip
  • one medium-size rutabaga
  • six large carrots
  • two medium-size parsnips
  • one and a half cups of frozen corn
  • No Yolks noodles (optional)
  • crusty sourdough or Italian bread (optional)

the best damn chicken noodle soup-3Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees (F). Season chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Bake for 30 minutes.

While your chicken is baking, chop an onion. I love using this hand-cranked chopper, especially for onions. Shop similar ones here and here. Fry chopped onions in a non-stick frying pan (using 1 TBSP of vegetable oil) until translucent. Set aside.

Put your chicken stock into a large stock pot (I use 12 quart) and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and bring stock to a slow boil/simmer.

While your stock is working to a boil, peel and chop your turnip, rutabaga, parsnips and carrots into approx 1″ cubes.

Timesaver tip: when I have a recipe that calls for a lot of veggie or fruit peeling and chopping, I always set up a plastic bag on the counter. I toss all the peelings into the bag and discard everything at once, saving me from going back and forth to the garbage can.

the best damn chicken noodle soup-5Add the onions, carrots, turnip, and rutabaga to the stock. Simmer on high for 15 minutes. Next, add your parsnip and continue to simmer for ten minutes. While you’re waiting, cook up your noodles (if you’ve chosen to add them to your soup).

the best damn chicken noodle soup-6the best damn chicken noodle soup-7Remove chicken from the oven, cool slightly, and cut into bite-size cubes. Pat down using paper towels to absorb any oil.

the best damn chicken noodle soup-8Add chicken and corn to your soup, and simmer on high for another ten minutes (These times are approximate. Cook the vegetables to your preferred tenderness).

the best damn chicken noodle soup-9You can leave it as chicken soup, or make it chicken noodle soup by adding cooked soup noodles or pasta. To serve: put noodles in each bowl and then ladle soup on top. We like to serve our soup with a crusty sourdough or Italian bread.

    all of those peelings are also good to throw into the stockpot or save in the freezer for your next batch.

It's truly amazing what our bodies can do. 💛

Life update. ❤ I’ll be keeping this piece of Life update. ❤

I’ll be keeping this piece of art forever. Wyatt painted this for me back in January, when I was isolated with Covid. I taped it up on the wall beside the bed during my stay in our guest room. If you zoom in, you’ll see me in the front with the big baby belly. (Wyatt calls me ‘big belly’ these days!)

Rainbows represent promise, hope, and new beginnings. 

It's been a rough past few weeks for our family, hence my absence online. Thank you so much for your messages of love, concern, and support. They mean so much to us. I know I share a lot with you on here, but I’m not going to get into details this time. Just know we're doing alright. Junebug is great (and kicking and rolling around non-stop!), Wyatt is awesome per usual, and Ryan and I are rock solid.

I had to take a break from work. My main focus has always been (and will
always be) protecting the peace, health, and well-being of our family unit. 

Social media can be a beautiful place where connection and inspiration happens. Unfortunately, it can also foster hurtful and harmful attacks. I’ve learned so much over these past few weeks, and have deeply reflected on my presence and future plans online. I’ll share more soon, but for now, I just wanted to check in, say a sincere thanks, and let you know we’re all good. ❤️
The moment I found out. September 22, 2021. I’ll The moment I found out. September 22, 2021. I’ll be honest - the first trimester wasn’t great. There were moments of joy (like this one) but it was filled with anxiety, scary moments, and a few hurdles. 

🤰I’m playing catchup on some pregnancy blog posts but I wanted to make sure this was up, especially for those who have been following our journey.

❔️Please ask any questions. That’s the whole reason why I share about this. I believe sharing our experiences and personal stories helps all of us feel less alone and often validates what we’re going through. 

(If you can believe it, I took a video of the exact moment I found out but it disappeared from my files. Poof! Gone.💨 Of all the videos to lose…. 🙈 But very happy to have this photo).
