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

Just what I was looking for to use bones and wings after deboning breasts. Grated carrots to disguise it from my boys. Worked! Put in cooked rice, instead of noodles.

Thank you for a REAL chicken soup recipe! I've been through countless recipes that call for a can of some soup and a bag of frozen vegetables. This is exactly what I've been looking for! I'm going to make it with rice instead of noodles. Thank you! Thank you!
