Should egg noodles be cooked before adding to soup?
Chef's answer
What you can do is half boil the pasta in the normal water, drain it, and then add it to your soup 5 / 10 minutes before it's done. Any soup I cook that requires noodles gets put in the same pot as the other ingredients. The noodles will have more flavor and it helps thicken up the soup for a heartier meal..
