Jody and Kirstie’s Chicken Noodle Soup Recipes

If you’re anything like us, you love Chicken Noodle Soup, especially on a dark, cold night. However, maybe you're like Amy, and the thought of making it from scratch gives you kitchen anxiety. Over the years, she’s made watery broth, with a side of crunchy risotto, and even had an exploding tomato soup incident. Honestly, I’ve been intimidated by this classic recipe for years.

This week, Chefs Jody and Kirstie are here to finally put everyone’s fears to rest. They each share their own different but equally yummy chicken noodle soup recipes.

But chicken noodle soup isn’t just a meal, it’s also a memory, and we take a serious trip down memory lane, reminiscing about everything from eating Lipton’s soup as a kid to dipping buttered Premium Plus crackers into our bowls.

Join us as we share stories and the best tips when making and eating chicken noodle soup. I learned the difference between a broth and a stock and the science behind why soup tastes better the next day…that’s if you even have leftovers.

• The difference between broth (made with meat on the bone, ideal for soup) and stock (made with bones, used for risotto, pan sauces, or gravy).
• Chicken noodle soup is often better the next day because the fat acts as a flavor carrier, distributing flavor deeper as it chills and reheats.
• Never boil your leftover soup; gently reheat to prevent the meat from becoming stringy or shredded.
• Cook your noodles separately and add them to individual bowls when serving to avoid mushy leftovers.
• You do not need a whole carcass to make stock; save rotisserie chicken bones to make small batches of quick, flavorful broth/stock.
