Notes

- Use rotisserie chicken for a quicker option. - Feel free to add more vegetables like spinach or peas for extra nutrition. - For a thicker soup, let it simmer a little longer after adding the noodles. - If you want a spicy kick, try adding some red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños. - You can also swap the cheddar cheese for Monterey Jack if you prefer a milder flavor.
