Tips for Success
-
Use rotisserie chicken to save time while still keeping flavor.
-
For richer broth, simmer with leftover chicken bones before adding meat.
-
Keep noodles slightly undercooked if making ahead, as they’ll continue to soften.
- I always choose to use Chicken Stock instead of Chicken Broth because it’s full of so much more flavor and nutrients.
