Tips
One of the delicious things about a simple chicken noodle soup is how the noodles soak up all the delicious flavours. As such, the best noodles for chicken noodle soup are ones that will do so without becoming mushy. Remember to add the noodles as the very last thing to avoid overcooking them. The residual heat from the dish will keep cooking them even after you remove it from the heat, so it is important that you do not cook them until they become soft. Try cooking them until they are about halfway done and then letting the hot soup do the rest of the work.

Creamy spiced chicken noodle soup
To make the ultimate chicken noodle soup with egg noodles, we recommend using the tenderest part of the chicken, the tenderloin, to introduce a meaty, savoury flavour. The result is a wonderful curry chicken noodle soup spiced with plenty of yellow curry and cumin flavour. The spiciness is softened with coconut milk, and it is filled with moist chunks of chicken and crispy vegetables.
