    Tools You Will Need

    • cutting board
    • knife
    • measuring spoons
    • dry measuring cup
    • liquid measuring cup
    • large pot
    • wooden spoon

    Variations for Our Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe

    • Stir some leafy greens in at the end, like spinach or kale, for added fiber.
    • Replace the egg noodles for any shaped pasta you have on hand. If you only have long strand pasta, then just break them up into ‘spoonable’ pieces.
    • Add more vegetables like zucchini or broccoli florets!
    • Use a homemade chicken stock if you have it on hand or prefer it!

    Importance of the Quality of Stock

    Since our recipe uses a store bought stock, to save on time, it’s really important that the stock is a high quality stock with great flavor. It serves as the backbone of the overall soup!

    As we mentioned above, you can definitely use a homemade stock if that’s your preference! It’s definitely the route we take if we happen to have some in the fridge or freezer.

    Make Ahead Instructions for Our Chicken Noodle Soup

    When chicken noodle soup sits, the noodles tend to soak up all the liquid. To prevent all the stock from being soaked up by the noodles (and the noodles in turn getting soggy) we recommend prepping and storing the soup differently from if you were to make and serve it fresh.

    Make Ahead

    To make our soup ahead of time, prep the soup as the instructions are written, but omit the noodles. Then in a separate pot, boil the noodles in some water until al dente. Drain and gently rinse to cool. Store the soup in an airtight container and the noodles in a separate airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

    When ready to reheat, pour the soup into a pot and simmer over medium-high heat. Once soup is simmering, pour the noodles in and stir. Simmer for a few more minutes until heated through. Re-season with salt and pepper as needed.

      This was yummy! I’ve never made spaghetti squash before and I’m not sure if it’s supposed to me soft or not when it’s done. My squash was on the larger side so maybe I should have cooked it longer. Sounds wonderful!! I’ll have to try this on weight watchers :). I love spaghetti squash so I usually poke a hole in it and cook it in the microwave about ten minutes. That gets it half way done. Then I finish by roasting it cut side down in the oven because it has better flavor!!

      I’m so glad I found your recipe! I altered the type of noodles and used “Better than Broth” vegetable base. We ate french bread with the soup. This is my new favorite chicken noodle soup!
