This Paleo chicken noodle soup is a nourishing soup made with chicken bone broth, egg drop noodles, and pasture-raised shredded chicken.
I’ve been making a batch of soup every week for the last month or so. I love how easy soups are to make. They’re packed full of nutrients, especially if you use homemade bone broth.
This week I’ve been enjoying Paleo Chicken Noodle Soup. Made with homemade chicken bone broth, vegetables, pasture-raised chicken and egg drop “noodles”. This recipe hits the spot when you’re feeling sick or just want something comforting to eat on a cold winter day.
If homemade bone broth isn’t an option for you, you can use boxed bone broth instead. I love this brand of bone broth (they also make excellent soups too).
Paleo chicken noodle soup ingredients
This soup is simple and delicious. The main ingredients are:
- Shredded chicken: I recommend shredding chicken thighs because they’re naturally moister and more flavorful than chicken breast, but of course go with whatever is easiest.
- Vegetables and herbs: Onion, carrot, celery, thyme, parsley, green onions for the garnish. Simple, straightforward, and delicious.
- Bone broth: The best bone broth is the bone broth you make at home. You can also buy from the store; make sure you get reduced sodium and organic.
- Coconut oil: Just a couple tablespoons, but they matter a lot for the final product. My recommendation is to either make your own coconut oil or to buy one of these pre-vetted and high-quality coconut oil brands.
- Eggs: In my experience, organic and cage-free deliver the best taste and are great for the environment; you’ll want to lightly beat them as part of your prep.
Paleo chicken noodle soup storage
This chicken noodle soup can be prepared through step 5 (that is, everything up until the beaten eggs are added), cooled, covered, and refrigerated for up to three days or frozen for up to a month. Simply reheat over low heat and proceed with step 6 – add the beaten eggs in a slow, steady stream, then remove from heat and let stand for two minutes, then finally break up the eggs with a fork before seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Simple and delicious!

So this is a good start but I needed to amp up the flavor with extra seasoning like chopped fresh rosemary, extra fresh thyme, chopped garlic, powdered garlic, powdered onion, poultry seasoning, bay leaves & coconut aminos in addition to lots of salt & pepper.
I used less than the recommended amount of coconut oil and the soup still tasted like coconut. It was a waste of an afternoon and food. I was extremely disappointed. Do not use coconut oil or that’s all you will taste!
Are there no noodles?
We have a new favorite recipe!!! Made this tonight as directed (except that I used store bought broth and rotisserie chicken for the sake of time), and we all loved it… that happens VERY rarely! Love that the texture of the eggs really taste like noodles! Thank you 🙂
I love this soup, especially with the egg, and so does my family. It’s easy to make and easy to adjust seasonings based on taste. Thanks for a great recipe.
This is my new go-to chicken noodle soup recipe. My family and I loved it especially with the egg in it. I had some mushrooms that I needed to get rid of, so I added them. Yum! Thanks for a great recipe.
