Ingredients

Equipment Needed

Step 1: Don't overcrowd the pot when browning the chicken. Work in batches if necessary to ensure proper browning, which adds significant flavor to the broth.

Step 2

Step 3

Step 4: Keep the pot partially covered to allow some evaporation, which concentrates the flavors while still maintaining enough liquid.

Step 5

Step 6

Step 7: Don't overcook the noodles as they will continue to soften in the hot broth. If making the soup ahead of time, consider cooking and storing the noodles separately to prevent them from becoming mushy.

Step 8: The lemon juice adds a bright note that balances the richness of the broth.
