My Easy Bone Broth Noodle Bowl with Herbs is a clean, nutritious, fast answer to that pesky question that keeps coming up at the end of every busy day ~ what’s for dinner?
*This post is in partnership with Swanson® ~ thank you for supporting me and the brands I work with, I’m super choosy and promise to bring you only the best.
It’s 6 pm, you’re so hungry you could eat a horse, and, in the words of Homer Simpson “There’s no food…just ingredients to make food!” Probably the worst moment of your life, right? This easy bone broth noodle bowl comes in handy for those times, and it involves just a few minutes and a few pantry staples ~
- Swanson Bone Broth
- Japanese noodles, whatever you’ve got on hand, I used soba (buckwheat) and udon
- frozen edamame beans
- green onions
- chopped fresh herbs, I used parsley, cilantro, and chives
Dinner’s on the table in the time it takes to chop the herbs!
Swanson is the broth my mom and grandma used, it’s what I use, and it’s probably the most recognizable name on your supermarket shelf. I appreciate that heritage, but what I especially love is that Swanson is always innovating, and this Organic Free Range Chicken Bone Broth is one of their latest. It’s 100% Natural, USDA Organic, and Non-GMO. If you’ve been curious about bone broth but haven’t tried it, this is the way to start.
What is bone broth?
- Bone broth is broth made by slow simmering bones along with vegetables and spices, The long cooking releases the naturally occurring gelatin and collagen protein in the bones.
- Bone broth can be made with any type of animal (or fish) bones ~ lamb, pork, chicken, turkey, or beef, are the most common.
- The flavor is definitely different from both regular stock and broth ~ it has what I’d call a more savory flavor.
- You can cook with bone broth, or drink it as is, just like you would a hot tea, it’s comforting and delicious!
You can make your own bone broth, but, honestly, it’s a LOT of work and can take multiple days. I prefer to twist off the little blue cap from my Swanson Organic Free Range Chicken Bone Broth. Takes longer to say the name than it does to get it in my bowl.
I grew up in a meat and potatoes house, and I sometimes have trouble thinking outside that box when it comes to meals. This noodle bowl is a real game changer for me…
the broth has a great depth of flavor, the noodles are silky and very satisfying, and the herbs and beans add that fresh green touch that rounds out this dish. I add a runny egg on top when I’m craving extra protein.

So I have to admit that I’ve had a hard time getting used to the name bone broth. I’ve always made good chicken broth where I really utilize those bones But in any case these photos have won me over. Consider me a bone broth convert!
That Homer Simpson quote is that story of my life! This easy recipe is just what I need!
Totally the story of my life too Haley 😉
I did NOT know that Swanson made organic broths now! Where have I been?? This bone broth noodle bowl looks simply delicious! I love all the flavors and herbs you have going here!! I can’t wait to make it as it looks simple yet yummy!
Not only organic, Elaine, but they do free range, low sodium, no sodium, gluten free…it’s a great assortment.
That soup looks perfect! I haven’t been able to jump into the bone broth craze because I’m pescetarian, but I’ve heard nothing but amazing things. I have a feeling fish bones just wouldn’t have the same effect, lol.
Interesting, I wonder if anyone has tried that. Swanson makes a great fish broth, too, which is hard to find.
I enjoy noodle soups so comforting specially when it is cold or when you need some TLC. Thanks for the tips on how to make it!
I love easy meals like this! And, I love using bone broth!
What a lovely bowl of comfort and deliciousness!
Super nice recipe! Loads of good stuff in this, and EASY! My favorite kind. Terrific post — thanks.
It’s simple but we really loved this, the bone broth plus the fresh herbs is a winning combo 🙂 Thanks John!
I’m going to look for this carton of bone broth in the grocery store. This is a must try bowl of delicious slurp-able soup!
It’s new Tricia, and it’s such a great idea because bone broth can take ages to make 🙂
Such a lovely bowl of goodness 🙂 Love bone broth and of course, noodles!
