Diners will ladle out praises all around the table when you serve this flavorful soup. "My husband and three sons can't get enough of it," says Maxine Pierson of San Ramon, California. "I created this recipe for a dinner I hosted for a group of friends. The main course was Italian, and I needed a good soup, so I converted a favorite tortilla soup recipe by substituting pasta and adding different seasonings."

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

Medium-Bodied Red Wine

Enjoy this recipe with a medium-bodied red wine such as Chianti, Sangiovese, Malbec or Zinfandel.

My family loves this versatile soup. Sometimes I use canned chicken, sometimes I use boiled shredded chicken. I double the noodles, add 1 additional can of broth, and a can of evaporated skim milk at the very end so it's a creamy version. This is known as chicken Stoup at our house as the left overs are more like stew.

Delicious recipe for a chilly day. I accidentally added more tomatoes then I was supposed to, but it still turned out hearty and delicious. Will for sure make again! Thank you!

This soup was wonderful on a snowy weekend! I changed it a little - didn't add the tomatoes, added more carrots and I used tiny star pasta instead of large noodles. I didn't thicken it either - it was delicious!

I was looking for a good recipe to use up leftover turkey in. This was it! I think next time I would double it, the way my crew of 5 gobbled this up!

This has become a family favorite --one of the easiest and best chicken soups I've ever made. My kids love this. Recipe is perfect as-is, but I've also used different types of noodles and added peas or zuchhini. Excellent the 2nd day -- if you have leftovers!

Very good, had lots of flavor and smelled delicious while simmering. I just added regular egg noodles as I did not have tricolor pasta. Next time I make it will probably puree the tomatoes some as my family does not like chunks of tomatoes. Otherwise was excellent!
