Nothing’s worse than having sick kids and no soup. With kids in school and babies at home, my family has been hit with more than our share of bugs, and this has become my go-to—and the reason I keep a whole chicken in the freezer. You can make it straight from frozen.

Method

STOVETOP METHOD

‍

Place all ingredients except the noodles in a large stockpot and bring to a boil.
Reduce to a simmer for 60–75 minutes, or until chicken is tender and falling off the bone.
Remove chicken and shred chicken. Strain bones and veggie bits from broth. Add pasta and simmer until al dente.
Add shredded chicken back in, season to taste, and serve warm.

INSTANT POT METHOD

‍

Place all ingredients except the noodles in the Instant Pot. Cook on High Pressure for 25 minutes if the chicken is thawed (or 60 minutes if frozen), then quick release.
Remove and shred the chicken, discarding bones and vegetables. Add noodles to the broth, reseal the pot, and cook on high pressure for 5 minutes. Quick release, return shredded chicken to the pot, adjust seasoning, and serve warm.

HACK FOR SHREDDING CHICKEN

‍

Remove bones and place the chicken in your stand mixer with the paddle attachment—in just 1 minute you’ll have perfectly shredded meat!

TESTER’S NOTE

10/10! I love that the bone broth is ready right away. This will be a fall staple in our house.
