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

This has been a family favorite for over 8 yrs. It's wonderful in the crockpot, and freezes well, too! What a tasty meal to walk in and smell on a cold winter evening!

Dinner is especially challenging after working all day and coming home to hungry kids and husband. This soup was so easy to throw together and the best part was that the ingredients are mostly pantry items I had on hand. It was hearty, flavorful and delicious. Seal of approval from my hungry troops! Another bonus is I now have a new ground turkey recipe to add to my repertoire as I am trying to use less red meat and more lean protein.
