Adaptable: This is one of those recipes that you can adapt very easily to fit what you like! My preferred method is to roast with ghee, use broth, simmer on low 2 hours (but I have also only simmered for 30 minutes – 1 hour and it is still amazing!).
Time Saver: Since the chicken is already fully cooked you can reduce the cooking time in Step 10 of the Broth Instructions to whatever works for you!
Bone Broth: you could add bone broth in Step 7 of Broth Instructions to make it extra gut-healing!
Noodles: If you are adding noodles I would recommend cooking them separately beforehand and then adding to the soup – otherwise as they are cooking they will soak up all of the broth.
Homemade Broth Version: I touched on this in the recipe card instructions, but wanted to highlight again – feel free to use water instead of broth in Instruction #7. It will need to cook much longer and you will need to add additional salt, but you will end up with some delicious homemade broth! If you have the time I highly recommend!

I don’t usually leave reviews for recipes but this was amazing and so simple! I have to be dairy free so I used bacon fat in place of ghee and it was sooo good!
Never have I ever had a chicken soup this good. Amazing. Mic Drop.
Yes - this is incredible!
I would recommend checking your chicken after an hour of simmering on stove top. If it's done to your liking, take it out, shred the chicken, and put the bones back in the broth to continue to simmer. We followed this recipe and our chicken became shredded, very hard to separate bones, and bones were falling apart. We had to be careful not to eat the bones. But it was VERY tasty!
This is truly excellent. Holy moly.
This is now the ONLY chicken soup recipe we make. Time your other tasks for the afternoon, and this soup will be ready before you know it!
hands down the best chicken soup with the most flavorful broth! this is my go to — delicious every time!
Eating this soup is like a big huge healing hug. I have made it 5x now and it's been truly delicious each time. Also is a most excellent meal to make for new moms/postpartum families. Thank you!
Delicious. Made the basic 8 cups of water version. Roasted exactly to recipe. Transferred to crock pot and cooked on low overnight. I omitted only the oregano. Removed chicken from crock pot and set aside. Strained broth and poured broth back into Dutch oven. Finished on stove top exactly to recipe. Absolutely satisfied with the broth richness. The chicken meat just fell away from the bone and practically shredded itself from my hands to the Dutch oven. Added cooked jovial pasta to the serving bowls as suggested. Absolutely yummy. Thank you!
Wow!!! This is the best chicken soup ever! I made this on Sunday for the family. I doubled the recipe so it could go for two nights. I used six chicken thighs and legs instead of a whole chicken. Following the recipe except after shredding chicken, keeping it to the side, one daughter likes it with out chicken. Then added two heads of roasted garlic after sautéing the veggies and deglazing with 1 cup dry sherry. Cooked wide egg noodles separate and also kept to the side to save the broth. That way family can add the amount of chicken/ noodles they prefer and then covering with the broth. Holy Moly.....the broth. Best broth ever in my family's opinion. They would have just poured cups of this and drank it. Thanks for this wonderful recipe!
I have made a lot of chicken soup recipes & I must say this is by far the best soup! The only addition I made was some frozen peas roasting the chicken made it so tender. Loved it and Thank you for sharing.
I've made this several times this year...and it's always delicious. This is the best chicken soup that I have ever made. Guests have told me it's the best chicken soup they have ever eaten. I've been a serious cook for 25 years, but this is one of those recipes that makes me feel like I really CAN cook! So glad to have this, Erin, thank you!
