Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe with Wiech's Egg Noodles

Chicken Noodle Soup with Gremolata

This has been a staple of Barossa Valley homes since the area was settled. Locals swear by it as a pick-me-up, a ‘medicine’, and comforter particularly during the wintery months. Most call it ‘a soup for the soul’. Wiech’s Barossa Valley Fine Egg Noodles are a must for this recipe, and locals will always say that you can’t have chicken noodle soup without Wiech's Egg Noodles.


We top ours with a fresh gremolata to give the soup a zesty freshness. Of course you need to serve it with some crusty sourdough and butter on the side. Enjoy!
