100% would make again

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

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.
