Classic Chicken Noodle Soup

The base is great, but this recipe makes so much, and once I added the noodles, the leftovers were mush. I would recommend cooking the noodles separately and adding them to your bowl of soup. But other than the mushy noodles this soup is great!

This is truly a wonderful recipe. A favorite at out Holiday Soup Party (where everyone has asked for the recipe and requested a return visit of this soup this year).

Very easy to make, I purchased a rosemary/garlic roasted chicken and added parsnips instead of peas. My husband and I both have bad colds and it was nice to have a fast homemade soup without all the additives found in canned soups.

Very good. I did leave out the peas (kids don't like) but kept everything else the same. will make again.

This was an excellent recipe, especially when combined with the Fast Chicken Soup Base!

Great with leftover turkey

Waaaaaaaaaaaay too many onions. I had to fish out at least half.

Fabulous! Everyone loved it! it made a ton. I fed 4 adults and two children...and still had a ton of leftovers. i made homemade egg noodles (from this site) and omitted the peas.

Much better than the salty junk in the can. I left out the peas.

AWESOME !!!

I have used the suggested soup base before to make the chicken and rice soup and loved it. Today I used it for this recipe and was equally happy. I did toss in a bay leaf and had to use dried parsley leaves and added some additional chicken broth. Very good!

Very good. I made with the Fast Chicken Soup Base and it was delicious as written!

Omitted the peas and cooked the noodles separately before adding to soup to avoid starchy broth. Fast Chicken Soup Base a must for this easy and tasty soup recipe

I made my own whole chicken, using the "Simple Whole Roasted Chicken" recipe from this site (stuffed cavity with onion). We weren't wild about the sweetness of the chicken, or the strong spice of the allspice/cloves/etc. So I had low expectations when using it for the Fast Chicken Soup Base. Let me tell you: YUM. seriously. The sweetness and spices from using that roasted chicken as a base recipe really mellowed out, and resulted in a great soup. I heartily recommend both the soup, and using the Simple Whole Roasted Chicken recipe for the base.

Even better a day later. My 13-y-o's friends ask her to bring extra to share when she takes it for lunch.

I made this last week. It was my first time making chicken soup, and it turned out great! I added carrots and some chopped celery leaves, and served with fresh ground pepper floated on top. It was wonderful with grilled cheese sandwiches!

good and easy.

Man is this stuff rewarding to make.... Yum! Hard to stomach the canned stuff once you had it

This is a fabulous recipe! We will defiantly keep this one around and make it many more times! Prefect for cold or sick days!

Wow. Just wow. I am truly amazed that I can make such a delicious, rich, satisfying homemade soup in less than 2 hours. I omitted the peas, kept the noodles seperate & only used about 1/3 cup parsley. Otherwise followed directions as written. BIG hit with the kids, husband, everyone! Thank you!

Very good a little different version then I usually make. Had home made noodles I used and had to use store bought broth but tweeked it.

This is the best homemade chicken noodle soup I've ever made. Don't change a thing- this recipe is perfect.

Delicious! I followed the recipe exactly and it was great! Thanks!

I loved this soup - it will be my go to chicken noodle soup. The only thing I changed is I boiled homemade egg noodles in a separate pot because I knew we couldn't get through the whole pot of broth in one go. I just put some noodles in the bottom of each bowl and topped with broth. I put the leftover broth in the fridge and I'll just boil fresh noodles again for the leftovers.

This was actually the first time I've ever made homemade chicken noodle....big hit! Thanks for sharing!

This by far the best chicken noodle soup I have ever prepared and eaten. Do not leave out the pea's unless you just don't like them. I folowed the recipe to the letter for both this and the "Fast Chicken Soup Base". Wouldn't change a thing. YUM!!!!!!!

This is a great soup with the fast chicken soup base. I did leave out the peas though. Yummy and I am eating it right now!

The most delicious chicken noodle soup ever. Absolutely perfect. Here's a tip: if you don't like soggy, soft egg noodles, use whole wheat egg noodles. I used whole wheat egg noodles and boiled them separately and then spooned the soup over them in our bowls, as other reviewers suggested. However, I added the rest of the noodles to the pot later, and when we ate the leftovers, even after a week and half, the whole wheat noodles were not too soggy or soft at all.

Good with or without peas!

This was delicious! It really did taste like it had been simmering for hours, but was so quick to make. Thanks for sharing!

I cannot say enough good things about this amazing soup!!! Very delicious.

Not only is this recipe easy, but it's probably the best tasting chicken noodle soup I've made. Made this when I was sick and it was great! Thanks!

Very good soup, loved by all. Even pureed the leftover for my 7 month old son and he loves it! Very easy and very tasty as is!

I love homemade chicken noodle soup, but I had never tried making it myself, so I turned to this recipe. It's delicious and I love using the Fast Chicken Soup Base. It's a keeper!

Very good recipe - definitely combine with Fast Chicken Soup Base

This recipe is simple, fast, and soooo good! I used the fast chicken base. I accidentally bought a bbq chicken, but the flavor was amazing with the soup! I think the fresh parsley was KEY. Soooo good!

The Mrs. and I love it, love it, love it.

A bit too many onions, and I would not add the water next time, it seemed to dilute the flavor a little too much.

Yum! I make this with Raemers frozen noodles, so good thank you for the recipe.

DELISH! My 11 year old helped make the soup and he and my husband LOVED it (so did I)!! Simple recipe, not a lot of ingredients, and perfect with grilled cheese sandwiches on the side. YUM!

this recipe is great. nothing is wrong with the noodles they were not mushy or anything. It was great. I hope your injoying this message because i very rarely am nice so bare with me. but this recipe is WONDERFUL!!!

Loved it!

This recipe was okay, minus the peas. The parsley was also a bit much. Also, I STRONGLY recommend adding the noodles immediately before serving; any sooner and they will turn into complete mush.

Perfect in every way!

Excellent!

The best!

This soup is not only quick and easy to prepare but really delicious. I make for my family and a sick friend. All enjoyed it. I used whole wheat noodles.

Made this today (only change was to double the veggies - carrots, celery and peas). Husband thought it was the best Checken Noodle Soup ever! Thanks so much for sharing

Perfect Chicken Noodle Soup every time. I follow the recipe, leaving out the peas (personal pref) and adding a little more veggies and egg noodles, as we like a heartier soup. The Rotisserie Chicken gives the Fast Chicken Soup Base more depth of flavor than other recipes we have tried. Everyone (including my 1.5 year old granddaughter) loves this and it is requested whenever soup is mentioned as part of the weekly menu.

This is awesome and so easy. I added 2 cloves of diced garlic, salt and black pepper to the veggie mix and used 1 onion when making the soup base. I also added a bay leaf to the soup and removed it before serving. Used wheat noodles, omitted the peas (my son hates them) and served with a crusty white bread. It was just fantastic and hit the spot ona a cool fall Sunday night. Thank you for an awesome recipe.

This is a great hearty soup that does not take long to make. I made it and put part of it in the freezer for another night that I don't want to cook.

I used whole wheat spaghetti noodles that I cooked in another pot and then added. It turned out perfect. The only thing I would change is when making the soup base I would leave out the skin of the chicken. It would make it a little less fatty.

very good and easy to make. Omitted green peas.

WOW! Gotta say this is the best chicken noodle soup ever. And it was so easy using the rotisserie chicken from the supermarket. I used 4 tsp. of instant chicken bullion for the broth and followed the recipe exactly. My adult son was very impressed and even commented that it looked like it came from a restaurant - love it!!

This is a wonderful soup! I have made it twice so far! Let's see if it is really liquid penicillin!

If I could give it 10 out of 5 stars, I would. I didn't change a thing and it was absolutely perfect. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!

Really good, I didn't have egg noodles so I used elbow macaroni. It was excellent. Big hit with my family. Since I didn't have a roast chicken for the soup base I used 2 chicken breasts and cut them up, then browned with the onion, celery and carrots. Next time I will cook the chicken longer so it falls apart.

Quick and easy. I added onion salt and garlic powder too.

excellent and easy recipe

This is the only chicken noodle soup that I love! It is simple to make and tastes better with time. I keep the noodles separate from soup until serving. I put in as many noodles as I want into each serving bowl. This way the noodles don't get soggy and gross. Store the noodles in a separate container too. If you don't want noodles add brown or wild rice. Either way it is delicious!

It was pretty good I will make it again, but my husband wasn't very crazy about it. I used Fettuccine instead of egg noodles.

The BEST. Won't ever look for another chicken soup recipe. The flavor of the soup will change depending on the type of chicken you buy.

This was excellent! I made it for lunch for a group of 12 preschoolers and they all really liked it...the adults all did, too. Definitely a keeper.

Easy and delicious!!!! Didn't change a thing...

SO delicious!!!

This was really yummy, I made it for my hubby when he was sick :( We had tons of leftovers. It heated up well bowl by bowl although the noodles did get a little bit soggy. Still delicious though.

This soup was amazing. My fiance said it was better than his mothers...which from him is definitely a compliment. I didn't use the peas though. Unfortunately, it didnt turn out so well for leftovers which is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. The noodles were mush. I would recommend only using enough for what you will eat them.

This was fantastic. I made homemade noodles in the pasta maker, and they turned out fabulous. I made the chicken soup base the day before, and then made the rest the night we ate it. (For a person who works for long hours, it's a lot of prep to do it all in one night.)

yummy yummy! i doubled the recipe and left out the peas (preference) had people over to share and we ate on it for 3 days. Delicious.

Best chicken soup ever! Only change was that I did not add peas (not a family favorite). Fabulous, actually my husband asked that this become a weekly routine. Thanks for a wonderful recipe!

This is a great recipe and surprisingly easy, considering it was my first time making homemade chicken soup. Based on other reviews, I added additional seasoning, taste-testing as I went along. I ended up adding 2 boullion cubes and a few pinches of sea salt, and at the end I still thought it could use flavor. I added a few sprigs of fresh rosemary while the chicken bones simmered - the rosemary really made the flavor for this soup. In the end, it was a really great hearty chicken soup, and it made a nice big batch - hubs and I ate it for about 3 days and still froze about a 1/3 of it. I normally would've given this 4 stars based on the lack of flavor, but in all fairness, the flavor and depth will depend on how the roasted chicken was prepared and seasoned. The author played it smart by directing to salt and pepper to taste. A keeper for sure.

Excellent. A massive pot of soup. My kids and guest devoured it with a crusty Tuscan Boule loaf. I don't think the average palate could determine that the base was not entirely home made. That makes it a worthy addition to any recipe box.

This was great! Took about an hour to make. Used "original" rotisserie chicken and didn't bother with the parsley. Added the frozen peas (petite size) after taking the soup off the heat and let sit in there for just a few minutes. Perfect and not mushy. Hubby likes lots of noodles and used about half a 16oz bag of egg noodles. Fed two adults for dinner, plus tiny helpings for two children, and had two lunch portions leftover.

This was good, but I would not rate it 5 star. It called for entirely too much thyme. I do not like it near as much as the recipe called for. However, I went ahead and followed it and was disappointed. Next time, I will use much less. Wasn't bad by any means though!

Excellent soup that was filling enough for my husband. The flavor was excellent and this recipe was easy to handle for a first-timer like me!

this was very yummy! it was the best chicken soup I've made

Oh my goodness!!! DELICIOUS!!!

This is a great soup! Very quick to make and delicious.

Way to much thyme but other than that yummy.

I made this for my boyfriend when he was sick. It was so easy but it tasted amazing and he loved it.

I prepared this and had a "lot of" Chicken Soup. (I am single). I enjoyed it for a few days, froze it and heated it up when a relative and her husband visited. It was a huge success served over Bob Evans Mashed Potatoes. I had another bowl of soup later and still have another serving. Great recipe! Brenda

I had some lancato kale that needed used so I sliced it into thin strips & used that instead of the peas. Also, whenever I make soup I tend to add about a tablespoon of soy sauce as it adds a little "umami" to it. With this recipe I also added a pinch of cayennne.

First time making chicken noodle soup. Followed the recipe as wriite. And used the recommended chicken soup base. Big disappointment. It was just "ok" if that. For all of the time and effort involved, I expected much better. My husband and I each ate one bowl, and that was it. I will not be making this again, expected much better.

Perfect for my Baby...(Scott, my 32 year-old Big Baby) who has been sick!!!

mine turned out very hearty but we liked it better that way. everything was perfect! i cooked my noodles seperatly first then added them to my soup. didnt want all that startch. really yummy!!!!

I thought this was okay. If you like herby soup, then this is great for you. I prefer the simple taste of chicken broth, chicken, and noodles, maybe a few veggies, and little to no herbs. Quality wise, excellent, but I wouldn't make it again. But that's just personal taste preference.

Excellent soup, my husband and kids loved it. I left the peas and parsley out and did everything else the same. It's the first chicken soup I made without a that stenchy aftertaste.

This soup made with the suggested base was good. Not the best soup ever, but good. Next time I make it I'll be sure to not put the noodles in and freeze some of it. Then I'll cook up noodles as needed. Also, I will not add peas. My first bite and I knew the peas were a mistake.

LOVED IT!!

YUM. I left the peas out and made my own egg noodles ("Egg Noodles" by Linda) and added some additional spices (rosemary, cilantro, ... whatever smelled like it would go well... ;) ) My husband LOVED it!

I followed the recipe to a "T" except for the following: (1) I don't like onions and didn't have celery, so I only sauted the carrots in 1 Tbsp of oil. (2) In place of onions and celery, I added onion powder and celery salt. (3) I used a smoked chicken since the country store right down the road has amazing smoked EVERYTHING. I used some Homemade Chicken Broth I had frozen a couple weeks ago, also a recipe from this site. I found the soup pretty good, not QUITE 5 stars (maybe 4.5!) but my boyfriend absolutely loved it! I want to try it with a roasted chicken; it was a little too smokey of a soup! :) But very very good.. the base was wonderful! I don't make a lot of soups so I am glad this is very easy too. The one thing I would change for me is using smaller noodles of some type.

Excellent

Great recipe! I use it as is.

sooooo good

This was so easy and delicious! The only thing I did differently was to use more carrots and celery and I used whole grain pasta.

Best I ever had. Let out peas, hubby doesn't like them.

Sooooooo good!! We used left over smoked chicken and it was the best ever!! I used regular chicken before and it was just Awesome!!

This is a great soup. Remember if you are making a large pot, only add egg noodles to the soup you are going to eat (they will continue to expand in the broth if you have left overs that you want to refrigerate). I love a bowl of this soup with a grilled cheese in the fall and winter months.

sooooo good, i didnt use egg noodle, i used shells but still delicious!
