Recipes FAQ

Can I use chicken breasts instead of chicken thighs?

Yes, you can use chicken breasts instead of chicken thighs if you prefer. However, chicken thighs are more flavorful and tender, so I recommend using them if you can.

Can I freeze this soup?

Yes, you can freeze this soup. Let it cool completely, then transfer it to a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and then heat on the stove or in the microwave until hot.

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure to brown the chicken thighs well before removing them from the pot. This will add a lot of flavor to the soup.
  • If you're using egg noodles, make sure to cook them separately and add them to the soup at the end. Otherwise, they may absorb too much of the broth and become mushy.
  • Don't be afraid to add more or less of any of the ingredients to suit your taste.
