  • If whole chicken is not available, chicken breasts, and chicken thighs can be used with bones or boneless pieces.
  • If it is pre-planned to store the soup in the fridge, it is better to add the noodles later to the soup. It can be added while serving.
  • fresh herbs also can be used
  • while storing the soup in the freezer, it better fill the container 3/4 as it will expand.
