Jody and Kirstie’s Chicken Noodle Soup Recipes
If you’re anything like us, you love Chicken Noodle Soup, especially on a dark, cold night. However, maybe you're like Amy, and the thought of making it from scratch gives you kitchen anxiety. Over the years, she’s made watery broth, with a side of crunchy risotto, and even had an exploding tomato soup incident. Honestly, I’ve been intimidated by this classic recipe for years.
This week, Chefs Jody and Kirstie are here to finally put everyone’s fears to rest. They each share their own different but equally yummy chicken noodle soup recipes.
But chicken noodle soup isn’t just a meal, it’s also a memory, and we take a serious trip down memory lane, reminiscing about everything from eating Lipton’s soup as a kid to dipping buttered Premium Plus crackers into our bowls.
Join us as we share stories and the best tips when making and eating chicken noodle soup. I learned the difference between a broth and a stock and the science behind why soup tastes better the next day…that’s if you even have leftovers.
Chef Over Your Shoulder is our podcast about the connections we make through cooking. Pairing professional Chefs Jody O'Malley and Kirstie Herbstreitand from the Culinary Studio with me, a burn-to-the-bottom-of-the-pan expert, creates the perfect “recipe” to demystify the kitchen and bring back the joy of cooking…without the pressure.

What’s In Your Pantry?
This week, I open my pantry doors, giving Jody and Kirstie a full view of my spice chaos! They waste no time calling out my dusty, old seasonings—it turns out spices actually expire—and question why I own Cream of Tartar (spoiler: I thought it was for fish, not baking!). We share some nostalgic stories after they spot some Crystal Light lurking in the back. Kirstie even sings us the theme song!
And of course, Jody and Kirstie share many recipes and spice combinations you can use, including Kirstie's Trinity of Middle Eastern Spices. We hope this episode inspires you to look at what's in your pantry.

Kitchen Tips and Cooking Stories
Jody talks about the myth of the 12-piece set of pots and pans. Did you know that half of that set are often lids, which we actually don’t need? Kirstie gives us some kitchen inspiration by sharing the nostalgic story behind her grandmother’s chicken noodle soup pots, which Kirstie still uses today. We share Jody and Kirstie’s essential pots and pans list that every home cook needs, a pro-tip for cleaning a burnt pot with salt and simmering, and how to conquer your intimidating cast-iron pan.
