In addition to having their own flavor, egg noodles match — and easily absorb — the savoriness of a herby chicken broth, ensuring that each slurp is a tasty one.
Tasting Table's Jaime Shelbert recommends adding the egg noodles to the pot once the broth starts boiling, allowing them to cook for about 10 minutes before adding the chicken.
If you plan to eat the soup a long while after preparing it, cook the noodles separately and add them to the pot just before serving to prevent them from getting too soggy.
