After having some wonderful spring-like days in the middle of winter, more cold and snow came this past week–brrr! I’ve always liked having a bowl of hot chicken noodle soup to warm up in weather like this. When I decided to make some chicken soup at the spur of the moment, I didn’t have a lot of fresh veggies on hand, but I did have a large can of homestyle chunky veggies. So I made a really easy chicken soup with that–very chunky and brimming with veggies, noodles, and lots of diced chicken. It’s a little more work than opening a can of soup, but since this is more like homemade, it’s worth the little extra effort!
HOMESTYLE CHICKEN VEGGIE NOODLE SOUP by NancyC, adapted from Betty Crocker
Makes about 4 servings
- 1 Tablespoon non-GMO canola oil or light olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup sliced green onions (slice up both the green and white part)
- 5 cups chicken broth
- 1 (29-ounce) can mixed vegetables, drained (carrots, potatoes, celery, peas, onions–I used Veg-All Homestyle Large Cut Vegetables) or use an equivalent amount of mixed frozen veggies
- 3 cups cubed cooked chicken
- 3 cups (6 ounces) uncooked egg noodles
- 1 Tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or 1 teaspoon parsley flakes
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
In a large saucepan (3-quart or larger), heat oil over medium heat. Add garlic and green onions and cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in remaining ingredients and heat to boiling. Reduce heat to medium-low, then cover and simmer about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender. Serve immediately.
I love how chunky this chicken soup is! Do you make homemade chicken soup often?

I am seeing so many soup recipes these days. This is definitely one of the best things to enjoy during the cold season. 🙂 Happy FF, Nancy. This soup looks so delicious. xx
Thank you, Jhuls, and hope you have a great weekend! 🙂
This is probably my absolute favorite soup that I always make a few times a year. Love your wide noodles, I use Kluski and they thick my soup so nicely. Thanks for bringing this comfort food to Fiesta Friday 🙂
You’re welcome–I love those wide noodles, too! 🙂 Enjoy your weekend!
Your soup looks so healthy and delicious! It makes me wonder why we don’t make chicken soup more often … 😉 Happy Fiesta Friday, Nancy!
There is something very comforting about chicken noodle soup…especially with egg noodles. Yours looks very good.
Thanks, Karen–yes, it definitely is comforting, especially in cold weather!
This would be MOST welcomed at my table right now! Looks fabulous, Nancy…and I imagine so delicious and comforting too!
A bowl of that soup right now would be so comforting. It’s so cold and snowy out today.
I made a homemade vegetable soup once and it did taste really good. So I’m on the same page as you, it is definitely worth the extra effort. 🙂
And what better dish to have in cold winter weather really? Happy Fiesta Friday. 🙂
Happy Fiesta Friday to you, too–hope you are having a nice weekend! 🙂
Believe it or not, I’ve never made chicken soup from scratch; only from a box. I’d like to do it.
Mmm, looks yummy and perfect for a cold winter’s day! I’m gonna fix a large pot of beef stew for supper tonight. A delicious meal to warm one up! I saved your recipe to give it a try. Thanks for sharing!!
You’re welcome, Cathy! 🙂
I am really craving some nice and hot soup right now seeing your post. Yummy one!
