Notes

For variations, swap egg noodles for gluten-free pasta or use leftover rotisserie chicken for convenience. Store leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to four days. For freezing, omit noodles and add them fresh when reheating. Toasting the noodles lightly in butter before adding them to the broth can enhance the flavor. Always taste as you go, adjusting seasoning gradually to achieve the perfect balance.
