Notes
- The recipe makes 8-10 cups.
- Classic chicken noodle soup will use bone-in chicken pieces and often the whole chicken. Feel free to use it with no adjustment to cook time.
- For a thick and hearty soup with less broth, use 6-7 cups of broth. Use 8 cups of broth if you like a nice amount of broth in your soup.
- Nothing is worse than bland soup. Be sure to taste your broth repeatedly and add additional spices as needed.
- I like a lot of lemon flavor and usually use ½ a lemon. Taste repeatedly and use what works best for you or omit it if it isn't your thing.
- Better Than Bouillon is optional for additional flavor. You can omit it or substitute using a couple of chicken bouillon cubes.
- The dish will last for 3-4 days tightly sealed in the fridge. The texture of the noodles will change. I recommend making those fresh or storing them separately from the broth if you plan to eat leftovers.
