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!

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.

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-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.

First time going to Disney? We got so much great a First time going to Disney? We got so much great advice and awesome tips for how to maximize our first time at the park as a family.

➡️ The number one thing I want to pass along is to allow breathing room in your days there. Don't overplan it. Try not to be SO scheduled that you miss the magic. ✨️

Of course you want to have a general plan of the rides you want to hit, your strategy for tackling the pack, etc. but leave space so when suddenly Goofy is walking down the street and your kiddo wants a photo - you have time. 

➡️ Book your hotel and park passes ahead of time for sure. Reserve a character dinner too (we booked ours the day before and got the last spot). 

There are a lot of to-the-minute schedules you'll find out there for how to hit every ride and try all the food in record time but for a family with young kids, I don't recommend it. Just go with the flow and have fun! 🤗

➡️ Make sure to head a few reels back and see how we surprised our seven-year-old with the trip! Ask any questions below. ❤️ Like and save this post if it was helpful for you.

More Disney tips coming to my Reels feed and KariSkelton.com this week!
