Chicken broth soup with extra chicken is made with chicken broth and generous pieces of cooked chicken. Recipes may also include vegetables, herbs, noodles, or rice, but those additions are optional; the defining feature is the broth base with extra chicken in the bowl.
Chicken broth soup with extra chicken does not have to contain noodles, while chicken noodle soup specifically includes them. The broth-and-chicken combination is the base; noodles, rice, or vegetables can be added to make different versions.
Simmer chicken with aromatics such as onion, carrot, and celery, then strain the broth and shred the cooked meat. Return plenty of chicken to the broth and add any noodles or rice you want; cook those until tender before serving.
For clear chicken broth soup with extra chicken, keep the broth at a gentle simmer rather than letting it boil vigorously, and skim foam from the surface as it cooks. Straining the broth before adding the shredded chicken also removes small particles.
Yes, rotisserie chicken works well in chicken broth soup with extra chicken. Remove the meat from the bones and stir it into prepared broth near the end, just long enough to heat through; this keeps the chicken from becoming dry or stringy.
Chicken broth soup with extra chicken does not cure a cold, but its warm liquid can feel soothing and help you take in fluids. The chicken makes it more substantial. It should not be treated as a medicine or a way to shorten an infection.
Chicken broth soup with extra chicken keeps for about 3–4 days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Refrigerate it promptly after it cools, and reheat only the portion you plan to eat until it is steaming hot throughout.
Yes, chicken broth soup with extra chicken freezes well in airtight, freezer-safe containers. Noodles and rice can turn soft after thawing, so freeze the broth and chicken without them when possible, then cook fresh noodles or rice as you reheat it.
Parsley, thyme, bay leaf, and black pepper complement chicken broth soup with extra chicken without overwhelming its broth. Add tougher herbs while the broth simmers, then finish with chopped parsley; lemon can brighten the flavor just before serving.
Serve chicken broth soup with extra chicken with crusty bread, crackers, or a simple salad for a light meal. If the soup already contains noodles or rice, a lighter side keeps the meal balanced without making it feel too heavy.

Chicken broth soup with extra chicken is a simple soup of chicken pieces served in chicken broth. Clear broth soups like this appear in many food traditions; the defining feature here is a generous amount of tender chicken rather than a thick or creamy base.
Serve it hot, seasoned to taste with pepper, herbs or a squeeze of lemon. It works as a light lunch or a warming starter, and bread makes an easy accompaniment. It is relatively low in fat and provides 7.6 g of protein per 100 g. For a more filling meal, pair it with vegetables or a small portion of rice; for a lighter one, enjoy it on its own.
