5. In a separate pot, cook the egg noodles or pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Oh, homemade chicken soup is just the best, isn't it? There's nothing quite like simmering up a big pot of comfort on a chilly day. I like to toss in some veggies, maybe some noodles or rice, and let it all cook together until it's bursting with flavor. It's like a warm hug in a bowl!
