This easy homemade chicken soup recipe is just what you need! Homemade chicken soup is one of my comfort foods when I’m stressed out or don’t feel well. There’s just something soothing about curling up on the couch with a bowl of hot chicken soup. Of course, it can be a huge process to make it from scratch so I like to take a few shortcuts when I can without sacrificing taste. 

Easy Homemade Chicken Soup Recipe

Since my daughter is gluten intolerant, I generally go with a gluten-free option whenever possible. With soup, it’s a fairly easy thing to do. You just substitute rice for whatever pasta option the recipe calls for.

I take a few shortcuts to save time by starting with chicken broth.

This chicken soup recipe is the one I turn to when anyone in the house is sick. It’s easy and everyone knows that chicken soup is just what you do when you’re sick.

Make a batch up ahead of time and store it in the freezer so you have it when you need it.

How do you make chicken soup from scratch?

This easy recipe will show you exactly how to make my easy homemade chicken soup recipe. I used rice and carrots. But, you could add gluten-free pasta and peas if you prefer.

Or, if you are not concerned about gluten, you can use regular orzo. My homemade chicken soup recipes from scratch is about as easy as it gets.

If you like a creamy chicken soup, you can try this chicken corn soup. It can be prepared in one pot and is ready in less than an hour. Make a batch today and it will be a favorite.

Do you cook the chicken before you put it in the soup?

Yes, you should cook the chicken first. Or, you can use leftover chicken from a previous meal. It’s up to you. In a pinch, canned chicken would work as well. I make my homemade chicken soup with chicken breast.

O Organics® products are available in my area exclusively at Shaws. I love knowing that there is an affordable organic brand that I can trust for both quality and taste.

I love shopping at Shaws because I can save money with the MyMixx app on my phone. Look for them in Albertsons Companies stores in your area including Albertsons, Safeway, Jewel-Osco, Vons, Pavilions, Randalls, Tom Thumb, Shaw’s, Star Market, United Supermarkets, Market Street, Albertsons Market, and Carrs/Safeway.

Being prepared is important. There’s nothing worse than realizing you’re starting to feel rotten but have nothing on hand to take to treat your symptoms.

I don’t want to have to drive to the store when I’m sick to get cough medicine and cough drops. I always keep the basics on hand like Signature Care™ Cold & Flu Liquid Daytime and Nighttime, Signature Care Cough Drops Honey Lemon, and Signature Care Non-Drowsy Daytime Cold & Flu Relief.

Signature Care products provide the same quality and relief that national name brands do, but at a better value. Signature Care products contain the same active ingredients & are subject to the same manufacturing standards mandated by the FDA as national brands.

Plus, they come with a money-back guarantee. I love that this is an area I can save money in without sacrificing quality.

Before cold and flu season really arrives in full-force, make sure you stock up on this easy homemade chicken soup recipe and wellness essentials for your family.
