How does chicken noodle soup help a cold?

Remember when your mom would make you chicken noodle soup as a kid when you were feeling sick? It really can help you feel better! The warm soup can help clear nasal congestion! It also has an anti-inflammatory effect that is proven to help ease your cold symptoms. So go ahead and eat all the chicken soup you want when you’re feeling under the weather!

How to Make Chicken Noodle Soup

Not too many ingredients are needed for this soup. You’ll just need:

• water
• salt
• chicken
• carrots
• chicken bouillon cubes
• celery
• egg pasta
• salt & pepper

Making this recipe is a cinch! You begin by boiling the chicken in six cups of water until it is complete cooked. Remove the chicken and then strain the broth of any chunks. Add veggies to the broth along with some crushed chicken bouillon cubes. Bring that to a boil, add the noodles and then bring down to a simmer for 15-20 minutes.

Dice the chicken and add it back to the soup for another 5 minutes or so, and you’re set! Just add the seasonings you want and enjoy a nice, warm bowl of homemade chicken noodle soup. 😀

What spices are good in chicken noodle soup? You can season chicken noodle soup with thyme, basil, peppercorns, bay leaves, and parsley. Don’t forget the salt and pepper!

What can I add for more flavor? You can add different spices to bring out the flavors in the soup. Some mildly hot spices that go well with chicken soup include black pepper, white pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and cumin. If you want more of a kick you can add other spices like red pepper, cayenne pepper and paprika. Maybe you’re wanting more of a smoky flavor? Try smoked chipotle powder, smoked paprika, or smoked salt. Vegetables also add more flavor and color to soup! Try adding a few diced tomatoes or sun-dried tomatoes. You can also add potatoes or kidney beans to the soup for a starchy flavor. Throw in some sweet peas or diced green beans to bring a vegetable sweetness to the soup. And don’t forget you can add any kind of onion to add a sharp taste to the broth.

Can chicken noodle soup be frozen?

If you have any leftover chicken noodle soup, you can definitely freeze it! Just store in a freezer safe plastic bag or container. It can last anywhere from 4-6 months in the freezer. When you’re ready to reheat, just heat it back up with a little broth in a soup pot over medium heat.

How to make chicken noodle soup in a crock pot?

You can easily make this chicken noodle soup in a crock pot! Just add all the ingredients into the crock pot, except the noodles. Cook on low for 6-7 hours. Take the chicken out and cut into bite sized pieces. Add the chicken back in and the noodles. Cook for 5-10 minutes until the noodles are tender.

I don’t know about you, but anytime I’m in the mood for comfort food, Chicken Noodle Soup always sounds good! Whether it’s cold outside, you’re feeling under the weather, or you just need a good bowl of soup this recipe should do the trick!
