Chicken Noodle Soup

Chicken noodle soup has to be the definition of comfort food, especially on a cold winter day and it is super easy to make at home from scratch! A flavourful homemade chicken broth or chicken stock is essential for a tasty chicken noodle soup and both are easy to make! Once you have your chicken broth or stock ready chicken noodle soup does not take too long to make where you are just cooking the vegetables followed by adding the broth or stock, chicken, seasoning and finally the noodles. At this point you have a pretty tasty chicken noodle soup but I like to add a few extras to make it even tastier! A while ago I figured out that you can enhance a chicken broth or stock by adding a parmesan rind while it simmers and why not do the same for chicken noodle soup? Since the chicken noodle soup is not simmering for a long time to bring the flavour out of the rind, I like to add some finely grated parmesan to the soup and let it melt in and disappear. I am a big fan of miso soup and I have found that miso works very well in a lot of soups including chicken noodle soup! Finally, I like to hit the chicken noodle soup with a splash of lemon brighten it up and add some freshness.
One of the things that I like about making chicken noodle soup is how efficiently the chicken is used! You start with a chicken and use it to make chicken broth, then you use the broth along with the meat to make the chicken noodle soup, then you use the carcass to make chicken stock and then you can make an even tastier chicken noodle soup!

A warm and welcoming bowl of pure comfort!

This classic soup is great. I will have to try miso in it.
Looks amazing! Perfect for a day like today!
This soup's a meal and only with homemade stock, like you've made.
Now I am hungry, chicken noodle soup (with miso) sounds perfect right now.
I can't believe it's not cold there all the time! Looks yummy, and the miso adds that mysterious, interesting tartness!
Absolutely awesome..
That looks so delicious. Please come to my blog I have something for you.
I just went from 87 degrees to 44 degrees and am now getting sick. Send me some soup, k? I have missed your posts while I was gone.
Hi Kevin
Thanks a lot for your sweet comment.
Chicken noodle soup's perfect for a rainy day and nutritious too !!!

I just made some CNS for my husband last week, when the weather is cold there is nothing more conforting. Loved the idea of using miso, will have to try it next time.
This is a gorgeous, comforting bowl of food. I like the addition of miso too.
What a tasty and comforting soup! Delicious!
Cheers,
Rosa
So comforting and delicious. It's been raining all day - this would have been perfect for dinner.
oh, we do this a lot in indonesia...instead of thyme...we use nutmeg ^_^
Lovely looking soup! I have never tried miso - I must give it a go.
we've been enjoying these kinds of soups lately too. perfect and healthy for the cold weather. miso is such a great idea!
wow!! your soup must taste natural sweet with carcass!I like to use chicken bone to make soup if possible..salut for your patient to make your own chicken stock.
Your soup looks perfect!
Wow miso pasta in a noodle soup, what a great idea! I love how you are always up for trying new flavor combinations in the kitchen!
There is nothing more comforting than home-made chicken noodle soup - and the idea of lifting it with miso paste - just inspired!
Sounds so comforting and perfect for this cold weather we are having here!
Yum, that looks really yummy and it's a chicken soup that doesnt take all day to make.
Looks delicious.......definitely the right time of year for this!
Your soup looks perfect! Interesting idea of adding miso.
Love miso..and love your chicken soup! Oh what the heck..send over both! Happy Holidays, Kevin :)
Wow the soup looks super delicius and relaly filling, wish i had a bowl of this delciious soup now.
Adding Miso, only you could think of that, cool!
This is a delectable looking chicken soup! Perfect for a day with a howling wind, like today!
You do love your japanese flavors! I love the idea of combining two classic comfort soups (Miso & Chicken Noodle) together. Will definitely try during the anticipated freezing Chicago winter!
A wonderful classic soup. Simple, crisp and full of flavor.
Sounds perfect for the cold weather. I have some beef shins in the pressure cooker now for some soup:-)
I need some of that soup! The perfect thing to help get over a cold.
Looks good, and I'm a little stuffy today, wish I had a bowl!
One of my all time favorite comfort foods. Yours looks delicious!
Thanks for posting this. I have miso in my fridge, but haven't figured out how I want to use it. This is perfect. Do you think it would work in a turkey soup (from a turkey carcass)?
Love those hearty chunks of chicken!
Pam: I think the miso would work really well in a turkey soup as well.
Mmmm, I love miso soup, and chicken soup. I'll bet your rendition was over the top delicious.
It looks wonderful
I love the miso twist on the chicken noodle soup. Brilliant!
a perfect dish for cold winter season :)
this sounds interesting with the miso in it. chicken noodles soup has been our family favorite dish of winter time, so maybe i'll try your recipe. thanks!
What a great improvement on the Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup I grew up on!
What a great idea. I always keep miso in my fridge too. I'll add a bit to my chicken soup next time too.
OK Kevin - Get out of my head!! I was just thinking that I need a killer chicken noodle soup recipe and BAM here you are!!
Thanks
This is exactly how I make my chicken soup...except I never used miso...but with miso or without it is my cure to the winter blues!
its been a cold start to summer here & Kevin your delicious soup looks just the ticket to keeping warm :-)
i wish i could have had some of your soup this week, as i was sick!
Leftovers rotisserie chicken is perfect for this. For each bowl of soup I stop a few cheese raviolis into the broth and scoop them out with the soup. You can do this for each rehearing of the soup and avoid overcooked noodles.
Just made this, it tastes pretty good. I did not use homemade chicken stock though, parsley, or white miso. Great recipe! Kevin, you should go on "Chopped". I've been a big fan of your blog for awhile, and you never fail to impress with great recipes.
