    Notes

    RECIPE TIPS
    Chicken: I generally use chicken breasts in this recipe, however you can use chicken thigh fillets if you prefer. 
    Vegetarian option: Omit the chicken (no need to replace it with anything). 
    Low-Carb option: Omit the pasta.
    Vegetables: I use onion, celery and carrot in this recipe. You can substitute these with any other vegetables you like. 
    Pasta: Wide pasta (pappardelle, fettuccine, rigatoni) all work great in this recipe. You can also use small shell or penne pasta if you like. 
    Lemon Juice: Adding a squeeze of lemon juice at the end of cooking gives this soup the most amazing flavour. It's an optional but highly recommended step. 
    Storing the soup: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 2 months. 
    Stove-top alternative: If you don't have a slow cooker, you can cook this soup on the stove-top by simmering the soup for approximately 1 hour, shredding the chicken and then simmer for a further 10 minutes.
