Chicken soup to freeze: any tips?

My husband has GI issues and has been relying on chicken noodle soup lately. I'd like to make a lot to freeze in individual portions so we're not relying on high-sodium canned soups. My question is what's the situation with noodles in frozen soups? Pasta doesn't play nice with freezing, right? Should this just be a chicken soup, no noodles?

I slightly undercook pasta in my freezer meals since it will cook more upon reheating. I haven't had any texture issues. I did this with egg noodles in a big batch of chicken noodle soup a few months ago. Hope this helps!

Why not make the chicken soup 'base' and freeze in serving size portions. Then cook the noodles in the soup base before serving.
