Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe

You’re probably wondering what chicken soup has to do with travel. Nothing really! I just wanted to file this chicken noodle soup recipe somewhere and share it with friends and readers. It’s a really simple thing to make and there is no reason you need to buy something that is processed or has a ton of preservatives. I have actually made this while I was sick and travelling so this is something that is actually perfect for long term travel or when you’re on the road and need some comfort. It is also easy to make this for just a few dollars!

HELPFUL GENERAL TRAVEL TIPS

Flights: Find a cheap flight using Skyscanner or Momondo. I like these two booking sites because they both search all websites and airlines around the globe including budget airlines.
Accommodations: I use Booking.com or Tripadvisor to find the best rates on hotels. Hotels.com offers a free night after booking 10 nights.
Get up to $40 off your first Air Bnb stay by using this code!
Travel Insurance: Having gotten sick on my travels in the past, I never travel without being insured. You never know when something may happen. For my round the world trip and extended long-term travel, I use World Nomads. For other trips, I have used Roam Right and they cover activities like extreme sports.

I don’t really measure things or follow recipes. I freestyle a lot. Here is a list of ingredients you will need for your chicken noodle soup:

chicken breast (size depends on how many people you are making soup for)
onion
2 carrots
2 celery stalks
chicken broth or water + chicken bouillon
Italian parsley
dry pasta noodles – you can use macaroni, spaghetti, anything really
half a lemon

Take a fresh or frozen chicken breast

Throw it into the pot and fill it with water to boil. Let the breast cook in the boiling water.

While the chicken is cooking, dice up celery, onion, and carrot!

Take out the cooked breast. Let it cool (put it in the freezer to speed up the process). Don’t discard the broth!

Throw the “mirepoix” into a pot and cook with butter or olive oil

And cooking!

While the mirepoix is cooking and breast has cooled, shred it.

Shredded!

Now add broth, chicken, and mirepoix together in pot

Add more flavour by adding bouillon cubes. I used Better Than Bouillion. It is!

Now chop up some fresh Italian parsley (or you could use another herb like dill)

Throw everything into the pot. I didn’t shoot the noodles but I used some spaghetti noodle which I cut up. Squeeze some lemon juice to add to the flavour. It’s so good! Trust me!
