Use bone-in chicken
Bones add richness and body to the broth that boneless pieces can't match.
Skim the foam
Remove the foam that rises to the top during the first 10 minutes for a clearer broth.
Add noodles last
Cook noodles separately or add them near the end — they absorb broth and get mushy overnight.
Season at the end
Broth concentrates as it simmers. Season with salt after cooking, not before.
