This isn’t just another chicken noodle soup recipe. It’s the one you’ll turn to when you need a hug in a bowl, and it comes together in under an hour. The fresh dill is the secret weapon that adds a brightness that dried dill just can’t match.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 large yellow onion, diced (about 1.5 cups)
  • 3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced into rounds
  • 3 celery stalks, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)
  • 8 ounces wide egg noodles
  • 1/2 cup fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional garnishes: extra fresh dill sprigs, lemon wedges, Greek yogurt or sour cream

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened and the onion is translucent.
  2. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a boil. Scrape the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits.
  4. Once boiling, add the egg noodles and cook according to package directions, usually 6-8 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the shredded chicken. Let it warm through for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the fresh dill and lemon juice.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Start with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, then adjust.
  8. Let the soup rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

If you’re planning to have leftovers, cook the noodles separately and add them to individual bowls when serving to prevent them from getting mushy. For freezing, leave out the noodles and add freshly cooked ones when reheating.
