You don't need to cook the tender homemade meatballs or boil the egg noodles separately, so you can easily stir up this savory soup in no time. I usually double the recipe for our family of seven. —Carol Losier Baldwinsville, New York

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

Awesome for people who don't eat red meat.

Very delicious, healthy and simple soup! I added a little pinch of red pepper flakes to the beginning to give the broth a nice spice. Only thing I will do different next is add a little more seasonings to the turkey meat.

Super comforting soup! Easy to prepare and have made several times and always terrific.

I just add more broth to extend it. It really is a family favorite.

Good soup-easy and filling. I added fresh minced garlic, parmesan cheese ,Emeril's Essence and salt to the meatballs . I used fresh minced parsley instead of dried. I had a 20 ounce package of turkey so I used 5 (14-1/2 ounces each) cans of chicken broth, 2 cups egg noodles and used more carrots and celery.I used 2 eggs and 1 cup bread crumbs.I love that the meatballs cook in the soup!Big Smile I also added a bay leaf-all soups need a bay leaf as far as I'm concerned-lol! This made alot and we ate it two days in a row. Like most soups, it was better the second day. I served grilled cheese with it.I would make this again. I added a little water when reheating it the next day for more broth-it was tasty! My 5 year old loved it and so did my hubby.
