Cuban Chicken Noodle Soup

This is hands down my favorite chicken noodle soup of all time. I like adding hot sauce and lime, sometimes a bit of cilantro. But I wanted to keep it as close as possible to how my grandmother makes hers. My grandmother would never add hot sauce or cilantro to her chicken soup but I occasionally do.

This soup and 1/2 of a Cuban sandwich will make anybody’s day. If you’ve ever been to Miami then you must have had Cuban chicken noodle soup at some point. Whenever I go to visit my family in Florida this is what I mostly eat, Cuban chicken soup and Cuban sandwiches because they sell them on almost every corner. Oh and ham croquettes and Cuban coffee in the mornings after a long jog on the beach? Yes!
