Author Notes Chicken noodle soup doesn’t get simpler than this: chicken and noodles. While a lot of chicken stock recipes include a slew of vegetables (onion, carrot, celery), spices (peppercorns, cloves, coriander), and herbs (parsley, thyme, bay leaves), this one lets the chicken do the talking. And it has so much to say. Seasoning at the end with salt and schmaltz (that golden rendered fat) yields a pure stock that would be wonderful in any recipe, but especially noodle soup. I like extra-wide egg noodles, boiled in salty water and added directly to the bowl so they don't get soggy. If you have some fresh herbs or cooked vegetables around, feel free to add those, too. But know that you don’t need them. —Emma Laperruque This is one of our Big Little Recipes. Read more here: The Ultimate Chicken Noodle Soup Only Needs 2 Ingredients. —The Editors

Popular on Food52Can I add egg noodles directly to soup?Noodles left to simmer in soup for too long become slimy and overly soft, and they can break down and make your soup too starchy. If you're adding them on reheating, you can add uncooked pasta after the soup is simmering steadily and cook it for 10 minutes or cook your pasta separately and add it just before serving.

Should you boil egg noodles before adding to soup?➜ How to cook egg noodles
If you're going to use fresh noodles right away, always cook them before adding to the soup. Boil them separately in a pot of salted water for two minutes (photo 1).
Can you just add noodles to soup?To ensure you get it just right, make sure the soup is nearly cooked before adding the pasta. Smaller pasta shapes soak up broth readily so ensure you serve the soup as soon as it's cooked. Alternatively, you could cook the pasta separately and add to the soup at the last moment.
