Tip's to make homemade chicken noodle soup from scratch:

• I have not used any store-bought stock. I have simmered chicken breast, along with salt and pepper. Strained the water in which chicken is simmered to separate any impurities and used that as stock.

• Do not leave the pasta in the soup for a long time, as it will soak up the liquid from the soup and will grow double in size. 

• Alternatively, you can make chicken stock by using Chicken bouillon or even get a storebought stock. 

• Use any vegetables of your choice if you do not find the veggies mentioned in the recipe.
• Use low sodium chicken broth if you are going for a store-bought one.
• Using chicken thighs in the soup is a better option but I have used chicken breast meat and it did not create much of a difference.
• To make your own chicken stock, try using chicken bones along with vegetables. Chicken bones give amazing flavor to the broth.
• To make this soup creamy you can add whole cream and simmer the soup. For just thick broth, you can mix cornstarch slurry with the soup. Cornstarch slurry is made by mixing 2 Tbsp cornstarch with 1.5Tbsp water.
  
• If you do not wish to cook chicken at home and save time, then you can use a store-bought rotisserie chicken too.
• If the pasta soaks up the soup then you can add more stock to the pot and adjust salt, pepper, and other spices.
