Is there anything better than a steaming bowl of homemade chicken noodle soup? Whether you’re under the weather or just looking to warm up on a chilly evening, this classic soup never disappoints. Believe it or not, a flavorful chicken noodle soup can be achieved in about 40 minutes any night of the week.
The keys to building big flavor fast include sautéing the vegetables first, adding lots of herbs and using good quality bone broth and rotisserie chicken. Luckily, Heinen’s has you covered with their amazing organic chicken bone broth and hot and ready Daily Bites rotisserie chickens. You can even buy diced onion and celery in the Produce Department to cut down on prep time.
I find Heinen’s artisan spaghetti noodles work really well in brothy soups. The imported bronze cut pasta maintains its shape without becoming mushy. Feel free to swap in one of Heinen’s other artisan pasta varieties or egg noodles, if you prefer.
