Often times this classic and popular soup uses use small egg noodles. Though we appreciate egg noodles often, we love changing up our recipes with different types of pastas and noodles.

These small pastas are ancini de peppe or ditalini pasta. So feel free to use up any leftover pasta that you may have and certainly add more vegetables to your liking!

The key to a great chicken noodle soup is a great broth and it doesn't get much better than a homemade broth. If you've never made your own chicken stock, here's quick tutorial to get you started: Easy Chicken Stock.
For the chicken noodle soup, if you want to use raw chicken instead of cooked chicken, just add the cut up raw chicken at the beginning when you start cooking the garlic and onions.
Cooking time to determine the vegetable tenderness will vary on how you like your vegetables. For an "al dente" bite about 10 minutes is usually more than enough, however for a very tender veggie, you might want to cook it up to 30 minutes at that step.
