I grew up on Campbell’s® chicken soups but my favorite was the NoodleO’s®. Mainly due to the manageable size noodle for the spoon but also because the texture of the noodle was firmer and not mushy like the others. As an adult, I set out to make a copycat version and it took several attempts before getting it right. My previous attempts lacked the tang that you get with a can and the secret ingredient ended up being lemon juice. Who would have thought? Serve with crackers if desired.
Ingredients
- 4 cups organic chicken broth
- 4 cups water
- 1/3 cup diced carrots
- ¾ teaspoon chicken soup base (such as Better than Bouillon®)
- ¼ teaspoon dried marjoram
- 1/8 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/8 teaspoon onion powder
- ¾ cup ditalini pasta
- ½ cup chopped cooked chicken
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice, or to taste
Directions
Step 1
Bring broth, water, carrots, soup base, marjoram, thyme, and onion powder to a boil in a large pot. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
Step 2
Add pasta and return to a boil. Boil for 15 minutes. Turn heat off and stir in chicken and lemon juice.
Cook’s Note:
I use pasta rings which are similar to ditalini; they can be found online.
