One pot is all you need.

This soup will be ready in an hour; it's super quick and so easy to make.

This recipe takes just basic ingredients.

It's versatile, too, because you can use freshly cooked corn, canned corn, leftover chicken, or even add some extra veggies if you like.

Freezer-friendly - this is perfect for when you make a big batch of soup, freeze some for later.

Please scroll down to the recipe card for the complete ingredient quantities and the cooking methods for this recipe.

• Boneless chicken breast - you can also use boneless chicken thighs, rotisserie chicken, or leftover chicken.
• Chicken stock - you can use homemade or store-bought for the best flavor over using a powder. You can also use vegetable stock.
• Mirepoix vegetables - onions, carrots, and celery.
• Corn - use fresh corn, frozen corn, or canned. I add my frozen grilled corn on the cob if I have some for a smoky flavor.
• Creamed corn will thicken the soup and add extra corn flavor and a creamy texture.
• Egg noodles - I like the medium-wide noodle; I think they stay on my spoon better. When I can find them, I will use kluski egg noodles.
• Butter
• Salt and pepper
• Parsley - optional, but I love that pop of green color in my soup.

Step 1. Prepare the chicken by cutting it into small cubes or small pieces. This guide will tell you how to cut chicken; it's very helpful!

Step 2. Prepare the vegetables by dicing the onion, slicing the celery, and chopping the carrots.

Step 3. Place a large pot on the stove over medium heat and add the butter to melt. I use a 6-quart stock pot. Add the onions, celery, and carrots and cook in the butter until tender, stirring often.

Step 4. Add the cubed chicken breast and the salt and pepper. Stir well and let the chicken cook for about five minutes to start browning.

Step 5. Add the chicken broth to the pot and boil over medium-high heat. Once the mixture boils, turn the burner down so it simmers for about 20 minutes until the chicken is cooked.

Step 6. Next, raise the heat to medium and add the noodles and corn kernels and creamed corn. Stir well and let cook until the noodles are soft, stirring occasionally. Taste the broth, and add additional salt and pepper as needed.

If you like, chop some parsley and add it to the soup.

Enjoy a delicious bowl of soup full of flavorful vegetables and tender chicken for a family-favorite bowl of comfort food that will warm you up! You will even enjoy the leftovers.

Chop or shred the leftover chicken into smaller pieces. Add this cooked chicken after you saute the onions, celery, and carrots.

Add the chicken broth and bring to a slow bowl and add the noodles and corn.

There are always variations to make it your own.

• Add extra vegetables like peas, red pepper, zucchini, and broccoli
• Add your favorite herbs, like rosemary or thyme. Parsley adds a pop of color.
• Instead of egg noodles, add orzo, or drop homemade dumplings into the broth.

Yes, make sure the soup has cooled to room temperature, then place it in freezer containers for up to six months. When ready to serve, let the soup thaw in the refrigerator, then reheat.

This is the perfect soup to use turkey. Just shred or dice it and add it to the vegetables.
