Make my easy chicken noodle soup recipe made from scratch! Yes, you could make this using store-bought chicken broth. But why pay more for something that doesn't taste as great as home-made? Buy the least expensive chicken you can - whole or parts - and simmer with soup veggies to make a stock that's really flavorful.
You can also be creative and use barley or rice instead. And then add whatever veggies you like! Hühner-Nudelsuppe! Oma-style!

What makes these soups so wunderbar? They bring back such wonderful memories of my Mutti's kitchen. So, of course, I had to write my own soup e-cookbook to share with my grandchildren. I know you'll LOVE it, too! There are 84 full-color pages filled with step-by-step instructions and hints. Take a quick peek ...
Sharing these soup recipes from my Mutti and Oma to my own young grandchildren ... that's such a delicious way to pass on our German heritage :)
The amount and types of soup veggies you add when cooking the chicken stock is flexible.Use any combination of onions, carrots, parsnips, celery, and/or leeks.
This is just to flavor the stock. You'll strain the broth and add new veggies when finishing the soup.
In the soup pictured here, I've added carrots, cauliflower, green beans, and corn to the stock and cooked it about 10 minutes until the veggies were almost tender. Then I added the noodles and spinach and cooked till the noodles were done ... about 4 minutes for these fine egg noodles.
Re-season and done! Wunderbar!
In the recipe above, you'll end up with a delicious broth and are able to use inexpensive cuts of chicken.
You'll also have meat to put in the soup as well as extra meat to use for another meal.
To finish off the soup, use either fine or medium egg noodles. The amount varies depending on how thick you like your soup.
Economical and easy! Especially with the hints section at the end of the recipe -- you'll discover how this soup cleans out the veggie crisper!
