A good friend made us this rich, comforting soup after the birth of our son. It was such a help to have dinner taken care of until I was back on my feet. This yummy dish is so simple to fix that now I give a pot of it (along with the recipe) to other new mothers. -Joanna Sargent, Sandy, Utah

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 took this to a potluck yesterday and received many compliments. I, too, added carrots ( 1 can, drained, cut up a little in the can before adding to soup) and finely diced onion and celery (cooked in broth until soft the night before while I was cutting up the chicken). I agree that maybe 4 cups of noodles would have been plenty. Gave this 4 stars instead of 5 because all those noodles soaked up all the broth while it was on low in the crock pot during the party ,even with my adding lots of extra broth! It was so good, I will make it again but with less noodles and not for a long-standing-time event.

This was more like a casserole. Maybe I used to many noodles. No one I served it to liked it.

This is so easy! My kids loved it! It was even good leftover. The noodles didn't get soggy in the creamy soup like they do in broth.

I am eating this right now and it is so yummy. The perfect soup for a snowy day. I halved the recipe, but I like my soup with more broth so I used six cups water and six tsps bouillon. Mmmmm!

Yummy flavor! I modified the recipe by adding fresh carrots and celery.. I also made homemade noodles... made soup the day before- didn't add noodles until the next day. Very yummy comfort food!

Just wondering how much chicken broth I should add to make this soup?

My family loves this recipe. I follow it as written. I once made this for when my college-age daughter caught influence A and was so sick. This soup is definitely comforting...it made her feel better!

WHAT A WONDERFUL RECIPE!! I would have never thought to add the condensed soup but it gave it a creamy texture. I did use chicken broth/stock instead of the bouillon and water.....not as salty tasting. I also added all the veggies too. I leave out the noodles and make it in the morning and leave it in the crockpot until dinner...adding the noodles 30 min before serving. VERY good recipe.
