2️⃣ Simmer for Flavor:

Tips for Perfect Chicken Noodle Soup:

Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh vegetables and herbs elevate the flavor of this classic soup.

Customize Your Noodles: Egg noodles are traditional, but feel free to substitute with pasta shapes like ditalini or fusilli.

Thicker Soup: If you prefer a heartier soup, stir in a slurry made of 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water during the simmering stage.

Cook Noodles Separately (Optional): To prevent the noodles from soaking up too much broth in leftovers, cook them separately and add to each serving.

Rotisserie Chicken Shortcut: For an even quicker option, use shredded rotisserie chicken instead of raw chicken.
