Remember when I made these cheesy chicken noodles? That dish actually started out as this one, but sometimes I get distracted by cheese.
I also get distracted by excessively slurping noodles out of the soup pot, even when it’s actually not a soup pot. Because this is chicken noodle soup is actually chicken soup noodles.
Wait, read that again. I know you read it too fast because I’m a teacher and I know these things. #seriousface
Chicken. Soup. Noodles.
Like Chicken Noodle Soup, but without all the boring broth! Yes, I said boring broth. Bo-ring.
You guys. There’s no boring at this party. Saucy noodles, fresh vegetables and herbs, and shredded chicken are all hanging out together for this cozy one-pot meal.
Party in the (not) soup pot! BYOBowl.
Chicken Soup Noodles
- Total Time: 40 minutes
- Yield: 6-8 1x
Description
These chicken soup noodles are just like chicken noodle soup but without all the broth! Just saucy noodles, chicken, and vegetables. Yum!
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 large carrots, peeled and sliced thinly
- 3 celery stalks, sliced thinly
- 3/4 cup chopped onion
- 49 ounces chicken broth (about 6 cups)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/3 cup cold water
- 1 lb. package egg noodles
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 teaspoon thyme
- 2 teaspoon parsley
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
- 3–4 green onions, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Heat 1 tbs. olive oil in a large soup pot over medium high heat. Add the vegetables and saute until tender crisp, about 3-5 minutes, depending on how thinly they are sliced. Add chicken broth to the pot and simmer for about 20 minutes.
- Dissolve the cornstarch in the cold water. Add mixture to the broth. Add the noodles and bring to a rolling boil. Check noodles every few minutes and remove from heat when noodles are mostly cooked. The noodles will continue to soften after you stop the boiling. If you boil for too long, they’ll get mushy and break apart easily.
- Add butter and herbs and stir to combine. Mix in chicken and season with salt and pepper. Mixture will thicken slightly as it cools; there should be enough of a thick broth to cover everything but not enough to be runny. Stir in green onions just before serving.
Notes
You can also use a rotisserie chicken instead of cooking and shredding your own. I didn’t like the rotisserie chicken as much, though, because it was kinda greasy.

It might be impossible to ever have too much cheese. But if it’s possible, it’s happening in my fridge right now courtesy of Bon Appetite overflow.
Does cheese go bad? It gets better with age, right?
And assuming it’s still edible, what do I make with it? Raclette, White Cheddar, Havarti, Fontina, and Parmesan… gang’s all there. Halp.

Love this combination of ingredients! Going to make tomorrow after determining available fresh vegetables. Thanks for sharing!

I dont know why this never makes the current (2023) rotation of meals. Its fantastic and it makes eating soup for toddlers so much easier! We love this.
I have become a total Pinch of Yum FANATIC!! I have loved cooking for as long as I can remember & have been on a total Barefoot Contessa kick for years UNTIL I discovered Lindsay & her amazing recipes. Any time my husband or sons (24 & 22) ask what’s for dinner & I simply reply “Pinch of Yum” they need no further details because seriously EVERY dish I have made from POY have been fanfabulicious!! These Soupy Chicken Noodles was no exception….YUM!! I did make a teeny mistake of making ahead & refrigerating it, so the “soupy” part absorbed into the noodles (I liked it best when I made it) but even that didn’t deter from the flavor! SOOOO good! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Lindsay & Bjork….Don’t ever leave us!!! P.S. Skinny Veggie Lasagna IN the crockpot as I type & the house smells divine….;)
This is hilarious – thanks Beth! So glad you like recipes!
I tell you what…You make magic on plates. I am hooked like a fish on your website. I have already drooled on my MacBook for everything you’ve made…Now I’m off to the store for a weeks worth of your delicious meals!
Keep the goodness coming….My family will heart you for it <3
this will definitely be on our dinner meal rotation! This was so good.
Hi, I want to try this recipe, but I wanted to clarify: are the two teaspoons each of thyme and parsley referring to dried thyme and dried parsley? Thanks.
Yes, that’s what I used.
Thank you for the great recipe! My son loved chicken noodle soup without the soup, but I never thought to do this. We all gobbled it up so fast- I made it for the first time this weekend- and my family has already requested it again. I enjoy your blog-keep these good recipes coming!
Thanks Martha! I’m glad you liked it.
I just made these noodles and they are delicious! Even though it is the middle of the summer, I have been wanting to make chicken noodle soup. When I found this recipe I thought it might be a good alternative and well I might never make normal chicken noodle soup again!
I made this earlier tonight and it was everything my taste buds have been seeking and more! Thanks so much!
Awesome! Glad you liked it Carla!
Lovely recipe. There is nothing I know that warms you more than a big bowl of warm soup. Here’s one you might like to try.

Thanks Jen!
This looks gorgeous!!
Yummy! Made this for dinner and really enjoyed it! Thanks!!
Awesome! Glad you liked it Erin! š
these look yummy and I am dying to make this. My favorite part are the noodles. thanks for sharing.
Absolutely! If you love doughy noodles (the thicker kind) I’d recommend using “homestyle” egg noodles. I had to go to a different grocery store to get them, but it was worth it. They were so good!
i made this and it was YUMMO!! so good and not super heavy!!
Awesome! So glad you liked it Tonya.
As I continue to browse through your blog, I am always impressed. I do LIKE broth, though, especially when it is homemade. I do also LOVE noodles, which goes back to my childhood… I won’t go any further with that!
I am making soup to eat at work, but could I live without broth and still call it soup?
More deep pondering may happen, but not in public.
I need to get your recipe for chicken noodle soup! Yours always looks so good.
OH wow THIS IS AWESOME! Yes, I meant to write it that way coz that’s kinda like how it sounded when I said it. š I haven’t tried it yet but I am definitely going too. I love your bowl!
*going to! geez. lol
Love this comforting meal. Love your dishes too:)
Thanks! Plastic, one dollar, Target end cap. š
What a great idea! My kids would love this, they are so tired of soup for dinner this time of year and this might actually fool them! Thanks for sharing.
OMG I just came across your site on pinterest and had to have your app! Everything looks amazing. I am def. going to have to make this.
Aw, thanks! I’m not sure what app you’re talking about, but thanks for the nice comment. š
What a great idea, I can’t wait to try it. I also love the photo with the food on the fork.
Fun! Love this idea, looks super delicious! š
This recipe is a bang-your-head-why didn’t-i-think-of -that wonder! Thanks so much – great pics and wonderful recipe.
