Essential Ingredients for Perfect Chicken Noodle Soup
To achieve that perfect bowl, start with high-quality ingredients. Fresh, lean chicken is key – boneless, skinless breasts or thighs work wonderfully.
Egg noodles are the classic choice, but feel free to experiment with rice noodles or quinoa noodles for a different texture and flavor. Carrots, celery, and onions add sweetness and depth, while thyme and parsley provide fresh, herbaceous notes.
