When you are making soup, do you add egg noodles to the soup, or cook separately?

Seems there are lots of differing opinions online.

What say you, DUers?

1. To the simmering soup at the last 10-15 min.

2. Same here. Don't like overcooked noodles.

3. Adding them to the soup lets them

better absorb the flavor of the soup, but that's just a personal preference.

4. That's the ticket (n/t)

5. Separately

Don't overcook the noodles. And I usually have leftovers so they dont get gummy in the leftover container.

Everyone can add as many or as few as they like.

Just easier for me.

6. I tried adding the spaghetti noodles to a nice marinara sauce while it was cooking - once.

Someone recommended cooking the noodles along with the sauce.

It came out like chef boyardee - horrible. I think that rinse of the noodles after they are al dente gets rid of all the gluten in the boiling water (or sauce).

Just like porridge. Used to be the common people cooked all their food in one pot - meat, potatoes, vegetables, etc. The haut cuisine French introduced having the ingredients cooked separately and savored, each one for its unique flavor and texture.

13. If the soup is supposed to be brothy, separately

Cook noodles in the soup, you add starch and body. I like brothy chicken noodle soup where you can still see the bottom of the bowl through the broth, so egg noodles cook separately.

I married somebody who likes soup to be what I consider gloppy (or what I would call "stew" )... So, if I'm not cooking the chicken noodle, the noodles would go in the soup to cook, along with some additional starch to make everything murkier

14. Ty! Separate it is then

16. I add the noodles at the end

I like a thick soup with lots of body, guess I take after my Mom. We named her favorites Myrt's Gruel, and Cream of Leftover. Yes, she was irritated. lol

[SheltieLover]

17. Haha! Cream of leftover

Love it!

I've already cooked this pot of soup, but I think nexr time, I'll toss some noodles in at the end

I do loooove noodles & I'm all about quick & easy recipe shortcuts!

Thx for sharing!

18. I use fideo pasta.

It's basically cut spaghetti. I cook it in the soup. I'm okay with the starch; my soups are meals, not appetizers. Filling is good. I am not a fan of egg noodles in soup.
