"I first tasted a soup similar to this at a restaurant. They wouldn't give me the recipe, so I went home and created my own," recalls Shirley Taylor of Russiaville, Indiana. "I like to serve this spicy soup with biscuits, breadsticks or corn bread."

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 tried this recipe last year and my family loved it. I omitted the mushrooms and pasta. I plan on making it this year too. This time I will use hot italian sausage for more spice.
