Notes
Bone-in chicken gives the broth more flavor, while boneless chicken is quicker and easier.For extra soothing benefits, add a little fresh ginger or turmeric.If freezing, leave out the noodles and add them fresh when reheating.Noodles will absorb broth as the soup sits, so add extra broth or water when reheating if needed.
