fresh parsley

🥗Healthier: fresh cilantro

💰Cheaper: dried parsley

Cilantro can provide a different flavor profile, and dried herbs are often less costly.

Prepare the vegetables: celery, carrots, onions, and bell pepper.

In a large pot, add the chicken and some of the vegetables.

After about two hours, remove the vegetables as they will be added whole later.

Once the chicken is well cooked, add the remaining chopped vegetables.

Let it boil for 20 minutes.

Cook the noodles separately to keep the broth clear, adding a bit of salt if desired.

Add lemon juice and stir in the parsley before serving.
