3. Add Broth and Cook Noodles
- Pour the homemade (or store-bought) broth into the pot.
- Bring to a simmer, then add the noodles. Cook according to package instructions (usually 6-8 minutes) until tender.
4. Shred Chicken & Finish the Soup
- While the noodles cook, shred the cooled chicken into bite-sized pieces, discarding the bones and skin.
- Stir the shredded chicken back into the soup.
- Add fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice (if using) for brightness.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper.
5. Serve & Enjoy!
Ladle the hot soup into bowls and serve with crusty bread or crackers.
Tips & Variations:
✅ Extra Flavor Boost: Add a Parmesan rind while simmering the broth.
✅ Make it Creamy: Stir in a splash of heavy cream or coconut milk.
✅ Low-Carb Option: Swap noodles for zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice.
✅ Make-Ahead & Freeze: Freeze the broth separately and add noodles when reheating to prevent them from getting mushy.
