Mom’s Homemade Chicken Bow Tie Soup Recipe

Homemade chicken noodle soup and potpie can be made a variety of different ways. Over the decades, I’ve tried various versions, but my favorite is still the classic that my Mom used to make. The following recipe is very versatile. You can use egg noodles, potpie squares, or bow ties. You can add vegetables like diced potatoes, sliced carrots, chopped celery, and diced onion. Whatever you and your family prefer.

When we make Chicken Soups we like to serve homemade cornbread muffins along with it. Makes for a very hearty and filling meal. This soup will freeze well too. I like to pour it (once cooled) into glass mason jars leaving 1 1/2″ of space at the top of the jar. Place the lid and ring on the jar. I store 2-3 jars at a time in my upright freezer. You can freeze in plastic freezer containers too. When it comes to thawing…thaw for 4-6 hours or overnight in your refrigerator. Then reheat and enjoy.

Before I get to the recipe I want to introduce you to Selefina, the spice shop through Adagio Teas. Selefina sells your classic spices like parsley and oregano…along with chili powder, crystallized ginger root, Cacao nibs, and everything in between. You can purchase samples sizes, regular sizes, refills, and empty spice jars if you need those! High quality, fresh spices and seasonings shipped straight to your door.

For this recipe I used the Selefina Parsley Flakes and the Selefina Dill Weed. If you’ve never tried any of the Selefina spices or spice mixes…you’re really missing out! They’re premium spices and packed full of flavor. They’re a staple in my pantry and I use them all of the time.

Reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until vegetables are tender and chicken is fully cooked. Increase heat to medium. Stir in uncooked bow tie pasta.
