Take meat off bones after cooking.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bloom the Spices<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blooming the cajun seasoning in the oil deepens the flavors.

Boiling makes cloudy, murky broth.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cook Noodles Separately<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pasta soaks up too much broth if cooked right in the soup. Cook just until tender.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adjust Spice to Taste<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Add hot sauce or more cajun seasoning at the end if you like extra heat!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Ingredients\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Ingredients<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chicken Pieces<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chicken thighs or drumsticks work best since dark meat has the most flavor for broth.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cajun Seasoning<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cajun spice blend flavors everything from the chicken to the broth.

This prevents the noodles from becoming mushy and overcooked. Add them at the end to gently warm through.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why is the chicken pink in chicken noodle soup?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When chicken is cooked in liquid, the proteins myoglobin and hemoglobin can leach out, turning the meat pinkish. It&#8217;s harmless, just an indication of the chicken soaked in the broth. The interior should reach 165\u00b0F for food safety. If so, the pink color is not a concern.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can I use rotisserie chicken?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Absolutely! Omit the searing step and add shredded rotisserie chicken at the end.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is cajun seasoning spicy?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most blends contain paprika, garlic, onion, oregano. Modify to your preferred spice level.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can I use bone-in breasts instead of thighs?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dark meat thighs make the most flavorful broth, but bone-in breasts work in a pinch!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do I need to use andouille sausage?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While andouille gives the best flavor, any <a href=\"https:\/\/stolenmomentscooking.com\/skillet-smoked-sausage-garbanzo-beans\/\">smoked sausage<\/a> works.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Should I skim fat from the broth?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For clarity and leanness, skim off and discard as much
