FAQ
Q: Can I use boneless chicken instead of cooked chicken?
A: Yes, you can use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. Simply cook the chicken in the broth and vegetables, then shred or dice it before returning it to the soup.

A: Yes! Chicken soup often tastes even better the next day after the flavors have had time to develop. Just store it in the fridge and reheat when you're ready to serve.
Q: Can I make this soup in the slow cooker?
A: Absolutely! Add all the ingredients to the slow cooker (except the noodles), and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours. Add the noodles in the last 30 minutes of cooking, and the soup will be ready to enjoy!
