How to Make It
Start by sautéing your aromatic base: onion, celery, and carrots. Add garlic, herbs, and chicken, then pour in your broth and bring it all to a gentle simmer. Let the chicken cook through and the flavors meld beautifully. Add noodles toward the end so they don’t overcook. Finish with fresh herbs and a squeeze of lemon juice if you like a hint of brightness.
Tips for the Best Chicken Noodle Soup
- Don’t overcook the noodles—they continue to soften in the hot broth.
- Make it ahead: The flavors get even better the next day.
- Add-ins: A handful of spinach or a pinch of red pepper flakes can elevate the flavor.
- Storage tip: If making for leftovers, keep the noodles separate and add them when reheating.
Serving Suggestions
Serve hot with crusty bread, a side salad, or just on its own in a big, cozy bowl. It’s great for lunch, dinner, or bringing to a friend who needs a little comfort.
