A: Yes, you can! Just be sure to adjust the cooking time according to the package directions.
Q: Can I make this soup in a slow cooker?
A: Absolutely! Sauté the vegetables as directed, then transfer everything to a slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. Add the noodles and chicken during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
Q: Can I use pre-cooked chicken?
A: Yes, using a rotisserie chicken or leftover cooked chicken is a great time-saver.

A: Yes, but the noodles may become a bit softer after freezing. It’s best to freeze the soup without the noodles and add them when reheating.
