Instant Chicken & Vegetable Noodle Soup Ingredients
Before you go running to the store, let me give you the inside scoop on the key ingredients:
Instant Bone Broth
Top 3 nutrients: protein, collagen, minerals
Brewhouse Bone Broth is my top choice for flavour, protein content and clean ingredients, however, there are a few alternative brands out there. You can typically find this in the natural health foods section at the grocery store.
*Did you know? The domestication of chickens is believed to have originated from the red junglefowl (Gallus gallus) in Southeast Asia, particularly in what is now Thailand, Vietnam, Burma, and parts of Indonesia.
Egg Noodles
Top 3 nutrients: carbohydrates, protein, B vitamins
Egg noodles are best used because they require little time to cook, and provide extra protein! You can use whichever size and shape you prefer, although I often opt for broad noodles since they have more surface area to hold onto the sauce.
Need gluten-free? Substitute with rice noodles or instant rice.
Dried Vegetable Mix
Top 3 nutrients: potassium, fiber, iron
My go-to mix at Bulk Barn consists of carrot, potato, onion, leeks, red and green bell peppers, celery, cabbage. You’re welcome to use any mix you find though.
Dried Parsley
Native to: Mediterranean
Top 3 nutrients: Vitamin K, Vitamin C, Vitamin A
Nothing crazy here – you likely have dried parsley in your cupboard already.
Salt
Native to: world-wide
Top nutrients: sodium
Table, kosher, sea, himalayan… whatever salt you have will do!
Pepper
Native to: Southwest India
Top nutrients: manganese, vitamin K
Like my dad says : “I’m not saying I put black pepper on everything, but if it doesn’t have black pepper, I’m probably not eating it.”

Storage Instructions
Here are some tips to help you maximize the shelf life of your Instant Chicken & Vegetable Noodle Soup:
- Keep stored in a sealable container or bag; unless you’re vacuum sealing, consider keeping the bone broth in it’s original packaging combining with the remaining ingredients prior to heading out on your adventure.
- Vacuum sealing can extend the shelf life by up to three times its normal duration! This is useful if you’re prepping lots for longer term use.
- Store in a cool, dry and dark place. For longer term storage, it’s recommended to keep stored in the freezer (especially if not vacuum sealed)
When you take these measures, your soup can last for a couple of years!
Preparing Instant Chicken & Vegetable Noodle Soup is especially quick and easy because it uses instant couscous and doesn’t have any ingredients that require a long soaking period.
Per serving:
- In a pot, combine with 1 1/2 cups water and stir
- Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes
- Stir & enjoy
Cooking Tips:
- Use a container with a lid to contain as much heat as possible… Have a packable insulated container? Even better.
- After sitting time is finished, add more hot water if you find the meal dry or crunchy.
