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

Great recioe, but I agree with the previous reviewers too much pasta. I used orzo and I cut the amount to 1/4 cup and it was enough. My exoerience with soup recipes that call for pasta is to always cut the amount by half or more. Otherwise the pasta will soak up the broth. And I always add have extra broth to add to any pasta soup recipe. Also I use organic chicken broth. On the whole a great winter comfort dish. My Italian husband loved it.

Too much pasta. I will cut it by 1/2 in the future. I used Turkey for the meatballs and added some parmesan cheese to the menu

I made this soup for Christmas Eve. It was delicious, but next time I won't use as much pasta as the recipe calls for. It soaked up all the broth as it sat and turned out to be more like a pasta casserole.

Great soup. The pasta soaked up more broth than I expected so I added a big can of broth. Leftovers heat up great for lunch too!
