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

Refrigerate Chicken Soup without NoodlesWhen 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

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.

Excellent just the way it is. Other than adding carrots and celery, I followed the recipe and everyone loved it!

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.

Soooooo easy and so good! I added carrot and celery. Next time I'll add sauted mushroom and onion. I also used a rotisserie chicken; this is a staple soup with lots of options! Yummy!

We just made this again and it is so good! We used a different kind of noodle and just put some sour cream in our own bowls instead of the pan. SOOO good!!
