Chicken Noodle Soup

Bone-in breasts, thighs, or drumsticks can be used for more flavor; remove bones before shredding. For a from-scratch broth, use 8 cups water instead of broth and increase salt to 2-3 tsp. Keep the pot at a steady simmer so the chicken shreds easily. To shorten it for a weeknight, simmer only until the chicken is cooked through (about 20 minutes) before shredding.
