What I ended up getting for Easter was an upset stomach. Boo! Oh, well. As soon as it started to settle, I went straight into chicken noodle soup mode. This Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup is exactly what my body needed too. The broth is light and there’s just enough good wholesome chunky bits in there to fill a sore stomach.

For being a homemade soup, this one is super simple to make and it all comes together in one pot for easy clean up. Plus, most of the ingredients here are staple pantry and fridge items that you likely already have on hand!

I made this soup just a touch more health focused by using some boneless skinless chicken breasts. But other than that, this soup couldn’t be more simple to easy. The broth reduces down while cooking and turns into this powerhouse of flavor.

No matter the time of year, this soup is as comforting as it is delicious. I’d imagine it would hit the spot with these Spring allergies too!
