What can you add to chicken noodle soup to make it taste better?
When you start your soup with onions, carrots, celery and garlic you get a ton of flavor. It makes it taste just like old fashioned chicken noodle soup. Homemade chicken broth is wonderful addition but I usually only have store bought on hand and works just fine for this easy recipe.
What are the best herbs for chicken noodle soup?
Garlic is my must-have for chicken noodle soup and in this recipe I added a bay leaf. Thyme, rosemary and basil are also great options. Fresh or dried herbs will work well to add more flavor to your homemade chicken noodle soup.
