Frequently Asked Questions
How do I keep the egg noodles from getting soggy in leftovers?
Noodles absorb broth as soup sits. If planning leftovers or freezing, cook noodles separately in salted water and store them in a zip-top bag. Add noodles directly to individual bowls before ladling hot broth over them.
Can I use leftover rotisserie chicken in this soup?
Yes. Shred 3 cups cooked rotisserie chicken and stir it into the pot during the last 5 minutes of simmering just to warm through. This cuts active cooking time down to 20 minutes.
Can I freeze creamy chicken noodle soup?
Freeze the broth, chicken, and vegetables without dairy or noodles for up to 3 months. When reheating, stir in fresh cooked noodles and cream right before serving to maintain velvety texture.
