Equipment You May Need

• Dutch oven – I find that a cast iron Dutch oven works best and retains heat better but a stainless steel Dutch oven will also work great for this recipe.

Ingredients You May Need

• Shredded or chopped chicken – In this recipe you can choose to either shred, cube, or roughly chop the chicken. Either way, it will be delicious.
• Egg noodles – Egg noodles are the pasta I chose to use in our pot of chicken noodle soup but you can use any pasta that works for you and your family. Alphabet pasta, elbow, or even bowtie pasta works great also.
• Chicken bouillon powder – Chicken bouillon powder or chicken flavored seasoning is the main seasoning used in this simple recipe to add an immense amount of flavor. If you don’t have any on hand here is the recipe for my chicken bouillon powder.

How to Make Dutch Oven Chicken Noodle Soup

1. Over low to medium heat add 1 pound of uncooked chicken to a Dutch oven. (I used chicken thighs.) Add 6 cups of water and the chicken flavored seasoning, salt, and pepper. Place the lid on the Dutch oven and allow to cook for 15 minutes over low to medium heat.

2. Remove the chicken from the pot. Shred or cube the chicken, removing any bones, skin, or fat. Return the shredded or cubed chicken back to the pot.

3. To the Dutch oven, add the corn, peas, green beans, and carrots. (Drain if you are using canned vegetables.) Return the lid and allow to simmer over low to medium heat for 15 minutes.

4. Next, add the egg noodles to the Dutch oven. Return the lid to the pot and allow to simmer over low to medium heat for 15 minutes stirring every 5 minutes to ensure the noodles cook evenly.

5. Remove from the heat and allow the soup to cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Storage

Store any leftovers in the Dutch oven and place in the refrigerator. You can also store in an airtight container. If stored properly, the leftovers will remain fresh for 4 – 5 days.

Reheating

To reheat, place the Dutch oven on the stovetop and, over low to medium heat, allow to warm for 15 – 20 minutes or until it is heated thoroughly.

What to Serve With Chicken Noodle Soup

1. Side salad: A simple side salad made with fresh greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, and your favorite dressing can add some crunchy texture and freshness to balance out the rich flavors of the soup.
2. Grilled cheese sandwich: There’s nothing quite like dipping a crispy grilled cheese sandwich into a bowl of hot chicken noodle soup. The gooey cheese and buttery bread pair perfectly with the savory broth and tender noodles.
3. Garlic knots: Soft, garlicky knots of dough are an indulgent addition to any meal, especially when paired with a warm bowl of chicken noodle soup. These little bites are perfect for soaking up every last drop of broth.
