One pot and twenty minutes are all you need to make this quick and easy chicken noodle soup for one.
Heya, I have another recipe for one for you today. When I started posting these single-serving recipes with my Scalloped Potatoes for One, I wasn’t sure how much of a demand there would be for them because I know lots of people don’t like cooking for just themselves, but that post has been pretty popular, and so has my Mac and Cheese for One, so clearly I’m not the only one who doesn’t mind cooking for just myself!

Today I’m sharing Chicken Noodle Soup for One, and I know, I know, it’s the first day of spring (happy first day of spring!!) and soup weather is almost over but, 1) It’s still chilly(ish) out—soup is totally still called for 2) I like soup all year round, and 3) I didn’t want to wait for winter to roll ’round again to share this with you, because I love it.
This soup is super fast, super easy, and perfect if you:
- You have extra cooked chicken sitting around.
- You need an easy and warming lunch/dinner.
- Hate soggy leftover noodles/the canned stuff.
And real talk, nothing beats the type of chicken soup that takes four hours to make and starts with an entire raw chicken, but this easy version for one takes about twenty minutes, doesn’t require you to dismantle a dead bird AND totally hits the chicken soup spot, so when I’m craving some chicken soup for lunch, this is totally the version I’m going for.
The soup you see in photos used cubed chicken and carrots and celery because that’s what I usually have around, but go nuts.
Use shredded leftover rotisserie chicken, toss some corn in there, chop up some parsnips and make it a party. Make the chicken soup that’s in your heart. 😉
I also included instructions in the recipe notes for my favorite way to cook chicken for soup if you don’t have any cooked chicken already on hand. It’s the same method from my How to Cook Shredded Chicken and How to Cook Chicken Breasts for Recipes posts, so if you want to see step-by-step walkthroughs, you can click on through and see it there.
