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 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.

VERY GOOD! The only thing I did different was use my homeade chicken broth instead of the water and boullion. It turned out great!

Very good and simple to put together. My husband doesn't like chicken noodle soup. I made this for a sick friend and saved a bowl for him. Surprise, he loved it. I will definitely make this again. Thanks for sharing

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!
