How to Make Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup

  1. In a large stockpot, combine 8 cups of Swanson chicken broth, 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, 2 carrots (chopped), 2 celery stalks (chopped), 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tsp dried thyme, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
