How to Reheat Chicken Noodle Soup Without Overcooking the Noodles

Quick answer: Heat the broth and chicken until steaming hot, then add pre-cooked noodles only near the end.

How it works

If noodles are already mixed into leftovers, warm gently and stir periodically. Avoid prolonged boiling, which can break down delicate noodles.

Practical advice

If soup thickened in the refrigerator, add a little water or broth to reach your preferred consistency.
