Ingredient Notes and Substitutions
See the complete list of ingredients below on the recipe card.
- Carrots: I love carrots in my soup. Peel them so that the beautiful orange color comes through.
- Marjoram: It is a milder, sweeter, less intense relative of oregano. However, you can substitute oregano if needed or more convenient.
- Chicken broth: Use low-sodium so you can control the sodium content.
- Egg noodles: This recipe works with any short pasta shape, including penne, rotini, elbow macaroni, farfalle, fusilli, and cellentani pasta. However, I like the consistency, taste, and appearance of curly egg noodles.
- Chicken: Any cooked chicken works in this recipe, including roasted, poached, stewed, or grilled.
- Fresh herbs for garnish: Try parsley, thyme, or rosemary.
