Treat your ingredients with care...
- Tagliatelle pasta — Cook the pasta separately and add it to the soup just before serving to prevent it from becoming too soft and mushy.
Tips & Tricks
- For added flavor, you can sauté the shredded chicken in a separate pan with a drizzle of olive oil before adding it to the soup.
- If you prefer a thicker soup, you can add a tablespoon of tomato paste to the broth.
- Feel free to customize the soup by adding vegetables like peas, zucchini, or spinach.
- To make the soup more filling, serve it with a side of crusty Italian bread.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave before serving.
Serving advice
Serve the Italian Chicken Noodle Soup hot, accompanied by a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley. It pairs perfectly with a slice of crusty bread for a complete and satisfying meal.
Presentation advice
When serving the soup, ensure that the tagliatelle pasta is evenly distributed in each bowl. Garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary or thyme for an elegant touch. Serve in beautiful soup bowls to enhance the visual appeal.
