Oven-Baked 3-Ingredient Amish Chicken Soup with Potatoes: Simple Comfort in a Bowl

 

How to Make Oven-Baked Amish Chicken Soup with Potatoes

1. Preheat the Oven

Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a large oven-safe casserole or Dutch oven for cooking.

2. Prepare the Ingredients

Peel and dice the potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.

3. Layer the Potatoes and Chicken

Place the diced potatoes at the bottom of the casserole dish. Lay the chicken pieces on top of the potatoes. This layering allows the potatoes to soak up the juices from the chicken as it cooks.

4. Add the Broth

Pour the chicken broth over the chicken and potatoes until they are just covered. If you like, add optional herbs or garlic for extra flavor.

5. Bake in the Oven

Cover the dish with a lid or aluminum foil and bake for 1–1½ hours, until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C) and the potatoes are tender.

6. Shred the Chicken (Optional)

For a more traditional soup texture, remove the chicken, shred it with two forks, and return it to the broth. Stir gently to combine.

Serving Suggestions

This Amish chicken soup with potatoes is hearty enough to serve as a meal on its own. For extra flavor, consider:

Tips for Perfect Amish-Style Soup

  • Use bone-in chicken for a richer, more flavorful broth.

  • Cut the potatoes into uniform pieces for even cooking.

  • For an extra touch of comfort, sprinkle a pinch of paprika over the top before serving.

  • Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for 2–3 days or frozen for later meals.
