Chick-fil-A Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe
There is almost nothing better in the world than the smell of chicken noodle soup from scratch bubbling away on the stovetop. The aroma of the garlic and onions sauteing in the skillet, the smell of the chicken as it cooks slowly over the course of a few hours, and the scent of savory spices as you add them to the pan… it’s irresistible!
My Chick-fil-A Chicken Soup recipe is the stuff that soup dreams are made of. It’s an old-fashioned chicken noodle soup that will make you nostalgic. It actually reminds me of the homemade chicken noodle soup with egg noodles that my Grandma made when I was young.
It’s a savory, comforting, and healthy soup recipe. You simply cannot beat a warming soup made entirely from scratch!
The best thing about this recipe is that it’s so easy! No fancy techniques are required to prepare a soup that tastes JUST like the famous Chick-fil-A recipe.
I followed this recipe and it was delicious! Just what we needed when we were all down with head colds during crappy weather. Super yummy. Will definitely make again to take to other families who are under the weather.

Chick-fil-A Soup Ingredients
- olive oil
- Onion
- Celery Stalks
- Carrots
- Garlic Cloves
- Water
- Whole Chicken
- Chicken Bouillon Cubes
- Bay Leaves
- Fresh Parsley
- Egg Noodles
- Salt and Pepper to taste
The key to any good soup is simple, fresh ingredients. The chicken soup seasoning is kept simple, using only salt and pepper and fresh herbs. Aromatics such as garlic and onions provide excellent flavor and vegetables like carrots make it healthy and hearty while adding a little sweetness.
Our Chick-fil-A soup uses a whole chicken, and this means that the broth is out of this world. A slowly simmered chicken creates a broth that’s rich, decadent, and totally flavorful. This is one of our favorite Sunday Dinner Ideas.
You can use shredded chicken as well if you like.
How to Make Chicken Noodle Soup
- Mince 3 cloves of garlic and 1 onion. Dice 4 stalks of celery and 4 large carrots.
- Heat 3 Tbsp. of olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed soup pan. Add the garlic, onions, celery, and carrots along with a pinch of salt and pepper and saute until soft (about 5-6 minutes).
- Add 12 cups of water and 1 whole chicken to the pot (make sure there is enough water to cover the chicken) and bring to a boil.
- Once the water reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 2 hours.
- After the soup has simmered for 2 hours, remove the chicken and let cool enough to touch. Remove the meat from the chicken, discarding the skin, bones, and cartilage. Return the chicken meat to the soup.
- Once you add the chicken back to the soup, add 2 chicken bouillon cubes, 2 Bay leaves, and 4 Tbsp. of parsley. Bring soup to a boil once again.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to simmer and add 2 ½ cups of egg noodles. Simmer for an additional 30 minutes.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.

If I use chicken breasts should I substitute chicken broth for water or will the water be OK. Thanks!

See AlsoEasy Chicken Ala King RecipeHi Sean! Thank you for your question! You can do half and half water/chicken broth since the bones will not flavor the soup.

If you use chicken breasts, how many and how long to cook them?
Reply
Em Beitel says
Hi Nan! You can use 4 chicken breasts and the cook time should be the same. Do half and half water/chicken broth since the bones will not flavor the soup. Thank you!

Can you use rotelle noodles with this recipe?

Em Beitel says
Hi Nancy! Definitely – use whichever noodles you like best! Thank you for your question!

B Bourland says
To make this a little more like the thick broth in chick fil a’s soup I put 2 cups less water and added a bouillon cube during the 2 hour simmering step.

That’s a great tip! Thank you for sharing!

How long can this be stored for? Also, can it be frozen??
Reply
Em Beitel says
Hi Courtney! You can store it for 3-4 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator and yes, you can freeze it without the noodles. Let it cool, then pour it into freezer-safe containers (with at least half an inch of space at the top to account for liquid expansion), label with the date, and store for up to 3 months.

If I use skinless breasts will the soup broth not taste as good because it won’t have the fat that is under the skin? Will the broth not be as thick?
Reply
Em Beitel says
Hi Alma! Using skinless breasts should be fine. Using a whole chicken definitely does add more fat and flavor to the soup, but it will still be delicious using chicken breasts. However, if you’re using chicken breasts, use 6 cups water + 6 cups chicken broth (instead of just water) since the bones will not flavor the soup.

Made this tonight. It was delicious! Will definitely make this again. Next time I’ll boil the noodles separately and keep them on the side so I can freeze the leftovers.Reply
Em Beitel says
That is awesome, Penny! We’re so glad you enjoyed it – thank you for your comment!

Can I substitute garlic powder in place of garlic cloves? If so, how much should I use?
Also can I substitute chicken broth in place of chicken bouillon cubes? If so, how much should I use?
Also what type of onion should I use?Reply
Isabel Laessig says
Hi Sherry! I would replace 2 cups of the water with chicken broth if you aren’t using bouillon cubes. For the garlic, I would definitely recommend fresh if you can, but if you can’t, I would use ¾ teaspoon garlic powder. As for the onion, yellow or white onion will both work very well. Enjoy!

Eva Allen says
can this be cooked in slow cooker? if so hiw long and which temp?
Reply
Em Beitel says
Hi Eva! Yes, you can cook it in the slow cooker. You can use a whole chicken or 4 chicken breasts. Cook it on low for 8 hours or high for about 4 hours or until the thickest part of the thigh registers at 165 degrees. Don’t add the noodles until the rest is done cooking. Remove the chicken to shred before adding the noodles. Then cook the noodles in the finished broth so they don’t overcook. Enjoy!
