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

Very good recipe, although I changed several things. Skipped the spice bag and used ground mustard and pepper, and changed the cooking method by starting with just the veges and broth for a couple hours, then added cut up chicken, then an hour later the pasta (I used broken dry spaghetti). It worked perfectly fine.

This was very good. I did not have any mustard seed, but I did put some dried thyme in instead. I used mini penne noodles as well. My kids loved it & we served it with grilled cheese paninis. Perfect for a cozy Autumn dinner.

I really like chicken noodles, it is great for those days where you want something a little wintery but with the stodgy red meat which can leave you sluggish. This is a great recipe and definitely leaves you full of energy

This is my favorite fall soup. I had to change the ratios a bit, though, because it was low on broth the first time I made it. I trim back the amount of meat and veggies just a bit and add a little more broth, and it's perfect for our tastes.

Not a noodle left over. Only change I made was to use kluske noodles instead of linguine.

Delicious and easy to make. Can leave out chicken for a veggie soup.
