What Spices Go In Chicken Noodle Soup?

Not sure how to season chicken noodle soup? I prefer using a blend of bay leaves, dried rosemary, and dried Italian seasoning. Dried herbs pack in more flavor per teaspoon than fresh, and they’re easier to find in the dead of winter.

What Are the Best Noodles for Chicken Noodle Soup?

I recommend using wide egg noodles for this recipe. Wide egg noodles hold up better against the chunks of chicken and vegetables and don’t turn to mush as they sit in the broth.
