How to make Chicken Noodle Soup

Tips from the cook

  • Use drumsticks or thighs, not breast: the bones and skin give the broth its flavour.
  • Don't leave out any of the vegetables; they all build the flavour.
  • Add more stock if the noodles soak up too much.

Meal prep and storage

Making extra? Set some soup aside before the noodles go in, and cook fresh noodles in it when reheating: stored noodles go mushy.

Freeze it without the noodles, and add a little stock or water when reheating.
