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. My kids love carrots, so I always toss in extra. —Coleen Martin, Brookfield, Wisconsin

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

I made this for the first time when my 4 year old was sick with the flu. He loved it and claimed it's what made him all better. He requests it often now(this is the only soup he likes.)

This soup has a great flavor and was really tasty. Our only problem was that I used bouillon instead of broth.... Learn from my mistake and use 3 cubes at most, not 6 like the amount suggests! I'll definitely make it again!

If it is too salty, you can always add more broth to this soup which makes it PERFECT!

Excellent chicken noodle soup! Saute the onions and some garlic with the carrots and celery in olive oil which givens it a nice flavor when you add the thyme to the broth. It's a keeper!!!

This was good. I added some extra vegetables and noodles, and left the salt out. I used the reduced sodium chicken broth because of the other comments, it was still a little salty for my tastes, but not off-putting.

This is the BEST chicken noodle soup i've ever had!! I love it & will definatly make it again & again! I did not add the spices listed, just a dash of salt, few dashes of pepper & a dash of garlic powder. I also made my noodles seperate so that we could put as much as we wanted in our bowls individually. I made 3 cups & set aside. I also added more carrots & celery than what the recipe calls for & used a cup & half of Perdue seasoned, grilled chicken already cooked & cut up. DELICIOUS!!!

It was good, however next time I will add more vegetables. I used reduced sodium chicken broth and left out the 1 teaspoon salt and it tasted salty enough that way.

All four of my children love it! Its a miracle when I find a recipe everyone likes.

I followed the recipe to the letter, and it did not turn out very good. In fact, it was too salty. I will not make this again, nor do I wish to keep it in my recipe box.

I'm a 21 year old newly wed and I haven't been cooking very long. I was so pleased with this recipe, it was easy and just as good as my moms. It didn't take long to make either. Very flavorful, and I even gave some to my neighbor when she was sick. This is a keeper.

I love making this recipe and have made it for several years now!!! Although I leave the teaspoon of salt out because the chicken broth seems to make up for it. Otherwise it's too salty...even for my salt-loving fiance!

Very very good! Was the perfect comfort for my son who was suffering from a cold, plus a nice recipe for a cold winter night! I added some extra types of frozen veggies that I had on hand too!

What a wonderful, hearty soup this is! I always double my batch and put extra chicken and vegetables! This soup is a winner with everyone in my family - especially my picky little son!

my husband said that this MUST be a staple every week. Everyone in our family really enjoyed this recipe.

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.
