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

This recipe earned a high recommendation into our family's list of favorite foods! Only we call it Comfy Chicken Soup.

My adult daughters now make this too! We like this recipe less liquid-y.

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!

I use Campbells Cream of Chicken & Herbs. Really makes a difference. So good.
