While some foods are more of a flash in the pan, chicken soup is one of those dishes that, like a comfortable pair of jeans, is just too classic to ever go out of style.

Warm and comforting, full of flavor and nutrition, and frankly just good, chicken soup is great no matter what. And there are dozens of ways to make it! You can make it from scratch with homemade stock, or lightning quick, with rotisserie chicken.

You can make it classic style, with just veggies and chicken, or you can add dumplings, noodles, gnocchi, or more. Below find nearly two dozen of our favorite chicken noodle soup recipes. You're sure to find one you love!
