Tender, shredded chicken makes it even easier to get a little bit of everything in each spoonful, and a little dried thyme provides massive amounts of flavor. Instead of buying chicken noodle soup from Chick Fil A, make it yourself at home!

This copycat Chick Fil A chicken noodle soup is the ultimate comfort food, right up there with homemade versions of the restaurant’s mac and cheese or tortilla chicken soup.
I love that I know exactly what goes into each recipe, and the freedom I have to make tweaks as needed.

Ingredient Notes and Substitutions
- Chicken – Use boneless, skinless breast meat for easy shredding. If you prefer dark meat, substitute an equal weight of boneless thighs instead.
- Vegetables – Feel free to customize this Chick Fil A chicken noodle soup recipe with other veggies — frozen peas or corn kernels would be tasty!
- Egg Noodles – A classic choice for any chicken noodle soup! These come out more tender than regular pasta, making them easy to slurp down without too much chewing.However, you can swap in any spiral noodle if you’d like. Just make note of the cooking time and adjust as needed.
- Chicken Stock – Substitute broth if needed, or even vegetable stock for a more earthy flavor. Storebought or homemade — either will work!
- Dried Thyme – A tiny herb that makes a huge impact when it comes to flavor. A bit woodsy, a bit floral, with notes of citrus and mint, a little goes a long way.
How to Make Chicken Noodle Soup Like Chick Fil A
- Spend time sautéeing the veggies first.
The carrots, onion, and celery form the base of flavor for this Chick Fil A chicken noodle soup recipe. Not only does cooking soften them, but it also enhances their natural flavor and aroma.
I like to use butter instead of oil for this step — again, for more flavor, but also to help the veggies brown a little bit.
- Cook chicken breasts whole.

For an authentic chicken noodle soup like Chick Fil A, the chicken needs to be shredded! Place the breast meat into the pot whole, then shred once it’s cooked through.
This helps to keep the meat tender and extra juicy. Plus, you’re more likely to overcook the poultry if it’s been cutting into smaller pieces first.
- Simmer the noodles before adding the chicken back in.
If you add the meat back in right away, it will end up drying out. You may wonder why not cook the chicken and noodles at the same time…
Well, first they cook for different lengths of time, so you’d need to time it just right. But also, the broth won’t have enough time to simmer. More time on the stove equals more flavor!! Once those noodles go in, you only have so much time before they start to go mushy.
- Don’t forget to add dried thyme!
Stir this in with the shredded meat just before serving. Because this herb is quite strong, adding it too early would overwhelm the other flavors.
Instead, you’ll get just enough of that subtle, earthy flavor to brighten the whole bowl.

Storing and Reheating Copycat Chick Fil A Chicken Noodle Soup

If freezing, be sure to leave some space at the top of your container so the liquid can expand. Then, thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
Reheat Chick Fil A chicken noodle soup on the stovetop, simmering over low heat until warmed through. You may need to add some extra broth or water as the noodles will continue to absorb the liquid the longer it sits.
