FAQ

  • Can I use chicken breasts instead of thighs?

    Yes, you can use chicken breasts, but thighs tend to be more flavorful and remain more tender during the long cooking process.
  • Can I use different types of noodles?

    Yes, any type of noodle will work, but cooking times may vary. Monitor the noodles closely during the last 30 minutes of cooking to ensure they don't become overcooked.
  • Can I add other vegetables?

    Yes, feel free to add other vegetables like potatoes, peas, or green beans to the soup.
