HOW SHOULD I STORE MY LEFTOVER SOUP?
Store tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It doesn’t freeze very well, so I don't recommend it.
HOW SHOULD I PREPARE MY CHICKEN FOR SOUP
The chicken can be cooked and seasoned any way that you desire. I personally like to season chicken for soup with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then bake it in the oven at 400°F for about 35-40 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
INGREDIENT SUBSTITUTIONS AND SWAPS
- You can substitute rice for the noodles.
- Instead of using pre-made chicken broth, use 3 ⅔ cup water and 4 bouillon cubes.
- You can also buy a rotisserie chicken to save time from cooking your own.
