Roasted Chicken Noodle Soup is a great answer to the ever-persistent, “what’s for dinner tonight,” question! It’s a chicken noodle soup with a twist because it’s full of moist and flavorful roasted chicken! This soup has it all; it’s a quick and hearty meal, it’s full of healthy vegetables and, best of all, it’s absolutely delicious!

And, if you are suffering from the flu or a cold or feel like you might be coming down with something, it’s guaranteed to make you feel better.Chicken soup is the ultimate comfort food, and many folks believe that chicken soup can alleviatethe symptoms of a cold. According to the National Institutes of Health, “the idea of hot soup as a cold remedy has been around since at least the 12th century and may really help ease the symptoms”.

I know when I was growing up, at the first sign of a cold in any of my siblings our Mom whipped out a can of chicken noodle soup, made jello, and made us drink what seemed like gallons of ginger ale. It was her first line of defense and a tradition in our home that stood the test of time! I don’t know if it cured any of us, but it sure did make us feel better!

My husband loves soup and has been asking me to make some for a while now. I tried to hold off making this roast chicken noodle soup until we had some really cold weather because soup and cold weather are soul mates. But while most of the rest of the country has had a miserable winter, it has been balmy in North Florida. In fact, today it was 75 degrees and gorgeous, but I caved and made him this soup anyway! You know I think he may, in fact, becoming down with a cold!

Roast Chicken Noodle Soup Ingredients:

The ingredients in roast chicken noodle soup are about what you would expect, roasted chicken breast, olive oil, onion, carrots, celery, garlic, turmeric, ground thyme, ground tarragon, chicken stock, 8 ounces of any kind of pasta (I used fettuccine), kosher salt, black pepper and fresh parsley. If you are in a hurry, you can substitute a deli-roasted chicken or leftover cooked chicken for the roasted chicken breast.

I also recommend that you try using Better Than Bouillon Roasted Chicken Base instead of purchasing the big boxes of chicken stock. I really like using this base to make stock because it is delicious and I have limited cabinet space. One small jar makes a little over 9 quarts of stock and only takes a few inches of space in my pantry.
