FAQs

Q: Can I use raw chicken?
A: Yes. If you use raw chicken, cut it small and cook it in the broth until done, then add noodles and vegetables as needed.

Q: Can I make this in a slow cooker?
A: Yes. Put all ingredients except noodles in the slow cooker and cook on low 4–6 hours. Add noodles in the last 30 minutes so they do not get mushy.

Q: How do I keep the noodles from getting soggy?
A: Store the noodles separately if you plan to keep the soup more than a day. Add fresh cooked noodles when reheating.

Q: Can I use other proteins?
A: Yes. Turkey or cooked shredded pork work well in the same way.
