Our Best Chicken Noodle Soup

This quicker version of homemade chicken noodle soup skips cooking a whole chicken and calls on boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead. The soup still tastes incredible, satisfying, and classic. The significantly reduced cook time makes this chicken soup from scratch possible on a weeknight. We highly recommend chicken thighs for this because of their flavor and soft texture when cooked, but if you prefer them, chicken breasts will work.

We chose to use chicken leg quarters rather than a whole chicken to make this well-loved soup. It shortens the cooking time without sacrificing any flavor, and the dark meat adds extra depth. Carrots, celery and onion are called for twice in the recipe—first they’re simmered whole along with the chicken and aromatics to create a rich and flavorful broth. After straining them out, sliced vegetables are added to the soup to finish it. Nothing is as simple, comforting and satisfying.

About this Recipe

Craving a comforting, incredibly easy dinner that delivers on creamy, cheesy goodness without the fuss? This recipe for The Best Chicken Spaghetti brings together simple ingredients for a family-favorite meal that's sure to satisfy.

What makes this chicken spaghetti truly special is its harmonious blend of flavors and textures. The richness of two cans of cream of chicken soup combined with sour cream creates an undeniably smooth and luxurious sauce, perfectly balanced by the zesty kick of salsa and savory taco seasoning. It notably skips the Rotel, offering a milder yet equally flavorful profile that's a universal crowd-pleaser.

Prepare yourself for a delightful, hearty dish where tender pieces of chopped, cooked chicken are enveloped in that velvety, cheesy sauce, all mixed with delicate angel hair pasta. You'll find it incredibly satisfying, with layers of savory, tangy, and creamy notes in every bite. The generous amount of Mexican cheese blend ensures a gooey, comforting experience that melts beautifully into the pasta.

While fantastic as-is, this creamy chicken spaghetti is also wonderfully adaptable. You could experiment with different cooked proteins like shredded turkey, or even add a handful of frozen peas or corn during the cooking process for extra vegetables. Feel free to swap the Mexican cheese blend for sharp cheddar or Monterey Jack based on your preference. If you prefer a slightly firmer pasta, a thin spaghetti could be used, though angel hair provides that signature delicate texture.

This Best Chicken Spaghetti is a perfect centerpiece for a cozy weeknight family dinner or a potluck gathering. Serve it warm, perhaps with a sprinkle of dried parsley for a fresh touch, alongside a simple green salad and some crusty bread to complete the meal.
