Tips:
For a richer flavor, use chicken thighs instead of a whole chicken.
Add other vegetables to your soup, such as peas, corn, or potatoes.
If you don’t have egg noodles, you can use any other type of pasta, such as elbow macaroni or penne.
To make the soup ahead of time, let it cool completely and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
When ready to serve, reheat the soup over low heat until warmed through.
