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.

I made this today and thought it was just okay untill I added the sour cream. Then it was really good. Next time I will saute some celery, onions and carrots and add them when I add the chicken. Yummy!

My husband was wanting chicken soup and I found this recipe. I read the reviews and made some of the suggested changes along with some of my own. I poached the chicken and then slightly shredded it, added carrots, celery and onion. I used Amish noodles (giving more homemade flavor) I then added salt, pepper, garlic powder and some parsley stirred in just before serving. I also omitted the sour cream didn't really fit with the soup. My husband tore it up, he ate 2 bowls. I also served it with whole wheat French bread.

Great soup if you want to call it a soup.Makes a hold meal I think.I did use home made chicken broth instead of the chicken bouillon to reduce sodium.Everyone loved it.

Absolutely delicious! Half the amount of sour cream is plenty. Added carrots to give it some color. A definite keeper in our house!

This recipe was super easy (I see that as a theme!) I followed the recipe closely except I used the frozen noodles that remind me of grandma's homemade noodles and it was really good with those!! Next time I'll probably add carrots too because it lacks a little color. I also used precooked turkey that I cubed up but my husband requested shredded chicken next time too so I'll try it again that way!! Delicious!

Wow! This was super creamy and tasty! I, too, added some onion, carrot, and celery, as well as cut back drastically on the sour cream. I also added more broth and used medium egg noodles, just because it was preference. Even with those changes, the recipe as written would still be just as good. I'm pretty sure I'll keep this recipe instead of my previous one. Give this one a try, you won't be disappointed.

Delicious!!! We bulked it up by adding onion, garlic, carrots, celery, mushrooms, and corn. We used curly noodles and fresh ground pepper to top it off. Perfect! I think if making it for others, though, I would stick with the basic recipe. Can't go wrong that way!

Made this recipe for my mom for mother's day (actually, the first meal I've cooked for her in my new home :) yay!) My whole family had seconds! I forgot the sour cream (yeah, that's what I get for trying to do too many things at once), but it still turned out delicious! I might add a little more liquid next time, though, as I thought it was a little thick (although maybe the sour cream might have helped that?). Definitely making again!

So easy and good! I always add celery, carrots, onion and garlic, and last time I threw in some peas, too. I use the sour cream if I have it on hand, but we don't miss it when I don't have it.

I forgot to add that we preferred it with the low-fat cream of chicken soup after trying both. The regular soup version was too thick and rich. I normally do not prefer low-fat anything either.

This soup has become a family favorite and we have never added the sour cream. We just usually never have it on-hand. We use left-over rotisserie chicken that's been shredded and regular curly noodles. I think half the amount works good as they do swell up and absorb a lot of the liquid. One of these days we will try with egg noodles and sour cream but it is still delicious. My family calls it "the good soup". I will definitely keep this recipe.

I enjoyed the soup, but 6 1/2 cups of uncooked egg noodles was WAY too much. 4 cups would have been plenty. I added fresh carrots, celery, onion and garlic. The veggies could have soaked up some of the broth, but I doubt it would have left me with that little.

This is absolutely the best Chicken Noodle Soup EVER! A friend shared this recipe with me and I have in turn shared it with many more friends. It has become a staple at work whenever someone is in need of a meal. I've used chicken breast and also seasoned rotisserie chicken (which are the easiest), it is wonderful with either! The easy preparation and the economical cost make it even better.
