We are all familiar with the unlimited benefits of soup. Throughout the seasons, soups are the hydrating part of every meal.

That’s why I brought you this easy Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe that will remind you of your favorite grandma’s soup.
A mom’s first remedy for flu or cold is soup, and it is the first thing she thinks of when sick. Have you been there too? Well, I think we all share the same antidote!

A Lovely Buttery Dish
Egg Noodles Everywhere!
Egg noodles can be made at home with two simple ingredients: eggs and wheat flour. They are called noodles because they come in a noodle shape and are usually thin and long.
Egg noodles are leading in Asian, Turkish, and German cuisines. Each culture is known for its own egg noodle recipe. However, you can find some egg noodles at the grocery that are wide, flat yellow, and dried.
If you ever wondered about the difference between pasta and egg noodles, it’s that the latter must include eggs, while most pasta, especially those at the markets don’t. Egg noodles are all the same, they are ribbon-shaped, while the pasta has different shapes.
Serving Suggestions
Even if this Chicken Noodle Recipe is a meal on its own, you can serve it with salty crackers, grilled vegetable panini, grilled cheese sandwich, mashed potato puffs, baked zucchini, or grilled vegetable skewers.
Add some extra lemon juice for a better flavor.

Storage
The Chicken Noodle Soup may be prepared, stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, and frozen for a total of three months.
Don’t add the noodles to the chicken broth if you’re willing to freeze them because the noodles will soak up the broth and you’ll end up with soggy noodles.
To reheat, put your chicken noodle soup leftovers in a pot on the stove. Over medium heat, warm it slowly while stirring often. If your soup has thickened, thin it down by adding more stock or water. A minute before serving, add any noodles to the broth (less if they are just finished cooking and hot).
Tips and Tricks
Homemade chicken broth is the best option for this chicken noodle soup recipe.
You can substitute homemade chicken broth with store-bought when you’re in a rush.
Look for chicken broth with low sodium in stores.
Early seasoning and frequent checking of the soup are essential.
Get the chicken broth that has a darker color (i.e. it has more seasonings) from the grocery store.
You can use any pasta for this chicken noodle recipe as an alternative to egg noodles.
If you don’t have enough broth, add some water and seasonings to the chicken, or go for the store-bought broth.
If you don’t want to boil chicken, just shred a rotisserie chicken for a quicker dinner or lunch.
I used a mix of my own chicken broth plus store-bought to get 10 cups.
