Expert Tips
Cooking this recipe in a cast iron pot really enhances the flavor but it’s not necessary if you don’t have one. Though, I love all of my cast iron and I recommend you get your hands on a good pot and a good skillet that are both cast iron! They’re so useful and if well cared for, can last for decades.
If you want to cut down on the WW points, add less egg noodles and a little less butter to cut down on the total points number.
What to serve with chicken noodle soup
When serving soup, bread is usually a great side. You may enjoy this Spinach Dip Bread Bowl Recipe with the Weight Watchers chicken noodle soup. This Weight Watchers Cheeseburger Pizza could also be a nice side to go with the soup. Since the crust is thin it won’t be too filling. If you want a light salad to go along with this WW chicken noodle soup, then this Weight Watchers Pasta Salad would pair well with it. For dessert, try out this fun Pumpkin Pie in a Cup recipe.
