I changed this up some based on the contents of my refrigerator. My chicken tenders were slightly frozen when I started, so I started on high (4 hr setting) for about an hour and half with the celery, carrots and onions. I used 8 cups of chicken stock and increased the spices accordingly. Then I added in a mixture of frozen peas and green beans (what I had) along with a drained and rinsed can of small white beans. Cooked on the 6 hr setting for about 3.5 hrs and found my chicken was very done (my fault, using thinner chicken tenders). At this point I added the zucchini as noodles (used my mandolin to slice) and set to warm. The spice mixture is very tasty and a nice change from our normal chicken soup! I served with a crusty Italian bread and everyone was happy.
SOOOOO YUMMY!!!
So glad you liked it!
Oh my goodness I just made this and it’s delicious!
This was so good! My 3 year old daughter was sick, so of course I turned to you for chicken noodle soup recipe. She hasn’t been eating well last couple days, but she ate this soup! I used a whole young chicken and regular wide egg noodles, but would like to try to find noodles you used for this recipe next time.
Hugs to your little girl and so glad our chicken soup recipe made her feel better. xoxo
How would this be cooked on the stove?
Hi Moni, we would add all the ingredients except for the broccoli in a pot. Cook it for about 30-45 minutes on low simmer, then add the broccoli for the last 5 minutes.
Hello 🙂 I was wondering if you knew the calories per serve for this? So yummy! Thank you ?
Hello Rachel! All the nutritional info is at the bottom of the recipe box. Thank you!
Highly recommend adding parsnip & kimchi. So much flavour
Kimchi sounds amazing for extra flavor. Love the parsnip too. Thanks so much Rachel!
Hello soup was excellent I did add a little bit of spaghetti squash so it’s almost like a noodle soup but just a tiny bit question you say 184 cal per serving is a serving one cup or two?
Love the addition of spaghetti squash! That’s a great idea. The serving is one cup.
