Tips :

Add the uncooked noodles seven to eight minutes before the soup finishes cooking to avoid overcooked and mushy noodles. The remaining heat from the chicken soup will continue to cook the pasta or noodles so keep that in mind. You will want to make sure to add the fresh herbs for the extra lovely flavours.
