When thrown together correctly, a bowl of chicken noodle soup could cure just about anything. The confluence of noodles, chicken, and vegetables like carrots and celery, all sitting in a salty stock, has long been considered a medicinal food of sorts with copious amounts of health benefits.
I recently tried out four of these renditions and ranked them in descending order, from those your family would balk at to those with all the makings of a healing stew. Here's how they stacked up: The look: The squiggly egg noodles certainly upped the aesthetic of this otherwise murky brew. The volume of ingredients to broth appears to be fairly balanced, but pasta and carrots run the ingredient side while chicken is only available in miniscule scraps .
It’s made with tender pieces of white meat chicken, curly egg noodles, sliced carrots, celery, and herbs all plunged into a chicken bone broth bath. The cup I requested came out to $6.99 with a complimentary baguette, and bowls are also available for an upcharge. All in all, it tastes just about as good as it looks, and I also think it bears a striking resemblance to Campbell’s chunky chicken noodle soup, just less chunky.Café Zupas is a bit of a wildcard on this list and the chain with the smallest footprint by far, operating close to 80 locations across eight states. But, it focuses on chef-crafted recipes made from quality-sourced ingredients, and one of those recipes happens to be a good-for-the-soul chicken noodle soup .
The taste: Soup with a side of health benefits. I felt like I was getting something truly nourishing out of this cup and the chicken made all the difference. Clearly available in a generous portion, it really did have a fresh-off-the-grill zip and juicy texture that lifted it miles above Chick-fil-A’s fragments and Panera’s meager, flavorless cubes. It helps that the meat is also backed up by veggies galore and tender spiral noodles–there are in fact a handful hiding underneath the rest.
