Tips for the Best Soup:
- Chicken Choice: We recommend boneless, skinless chicken breasts for convenience, but you can also use thighs for a richer flavor.
- Fresh vs. Dried Herbs: While dried herbs work perfectly well, feel free to use fresh if you have them on hand. Use about 3 times the amount of fresh herbs as dried.
- Noodle Timing: Adding the noodles towards the end prevents them from becoming mushy. If you prefer, you can cook the noodles separately and add them to the soup just before serving.
- Spice it Up: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Can I use a different type of noodle?
A: Absolutely! Rotini, penne, or even small shells would work well in this soup.
Q: Can I make this soup ahead of time?
A: Yes! The soup actually tastes even better the next day. Just store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Q: Can I freeze this soup?
A: Yes, but the noodles may become a bit soft when thawed. It’s best to freeze the soup without the noodles and add them when reheating.
Q: What if I don’t have fresh ginger?
A: You can substitute 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger, but fresh ginger provides a brighter, more vibrant flavor.
Q: Can I add vegetables like peas or corn?
A: Yes! Add about 1 cup of frozen peas or corn during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
