Marjoram and thyme come through nicely in this old-fashioned soup that tastes just like Grandma used to make. "You can modify the recipe to include vegetables your family enjoys," notes Food Editor Coleen Martin. "My kids love carrots, so I always toss in extra."

Tip

Refrigerate Chicken Soup without Noodles

When I make my favorite chicken noodle soup, I find it tastes better if I refrigerate the soup without the noodles. When it’s time to serve, I add the noodles to the amount of soup I’m going to use and cook them until tender. —Martha Dimitch, Nineveh, Indiana

This will be my go-to recipe for chicken noodle soup now, with a few modifications. I used 1/2 cup of celery instead of 1/4 because I like lots of vegetables, and felt the carrot and celery should be equal. The biggest adjustment I made was for the noodles- I used about 2 1/4 cups to 3 cups- 1 1/4 just did not seem like enough. But this is personal preference, as my husband and I like a hearty soup, full of noodles.

i liked this recipe, but i think i would cut back just a tad on the thyme and marjoram. was just a little over seasoned for my liking. however, my husband really enjoyed it.
