Recipe Notes

(Almost) everybody loves Chicken Noodle Soup. There’s just not a much better meal and if you are getting yours from a can, this is the easy compromise. It does take a little longer than opening a can, but the reward is so great! This recipe is all of about 10 minutes active cooking time and it’s oh, so worth it with true chicken flavor.

Cooking the noodles separately is key. It allows you to keep the soup from becoming cloudy with the starch from the noodles and to precisely cook them ’til they are just done. Add them to the soup with the fresh parsley at the last minute for that fresh, fresh flavor.

"Next to hot chicken soup, a tattoo of an anchor on your chest, and penicillin, I consider a honeymoon one of the most overrated events in the world."
