Our Deaconess Group uses this recipe when cooking for members of our congregation. It makes a huge batch, so it's ideal to freeze portions in microwave-safe containers. Then just thaw and reheat in the microwave for a filling meal. People who try this soup say it's the best they have ever tasted. —Stacey Christensen, West Valley City, Utah

Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe

Prep: 1 hour Cook: 2-1/2 hours

Yield: 64 Servings

60 150 210

Ingredients

4 whole broiler/fryer chickens (3 to 4 pounds each)
10 quarts water
3 bunches celery, chopped
2 pounds carrots, sliced
2 large onions, chopped
2 jars (8 ounces each) chicken base
1/4 cup dried parsley flakes
Salt and pepper to taste
2-1/2 pounds uncooked fine egg noodles

Directions

Divide chickens and water between two stockpots. Slowly bring to a boil over low heat. Cover and simmer for 2 hours or until meat is tender, skimming the surface as foam rises. Remove chickens from broth; set aside until cool enough to handle.
Add the celery, carrots, onions, chicken base and parsley to the pots; season with salt and pepper. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
Cook noodles according to package directions; drain. Stir into soup. Remove chicken meat from bones; cut into bite-size pieces. Add to soup; heat through. Serve desired amount. Cool remaining soup; transfer to freezer containers. Freeze for up to 3 months.
To use frozen soup: Thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Place in a saucepan and heat through. Yield: 64 servings (1 cup each).

Editor's Note: Look for chicken base near the broth and bouillon.

Very tasty. Only thing I would do differently is store it without the noodles and fresh cook the noodles at the time I want to serve it. Noodles tend to get mushy and the starch from them changes the broth flavor.
