Notes

  • Broth matters: Use the best quality broth you can find. It's the backbone of the soup.
  • From scratch: For richer broth, simmer chicken wings with the vegetables for 1 hour before adding noodles.
  • Noodle tip: If making ahead, store noodles separately. They'll absorb liquid and get mushy.
  • Storage: Keeps 4 days refrigerated. Freeze broth and chicken without noodles.
