Chicken Noodle Soup

Name: Chicken Noodle Soup
Prep time: 35 min
Cook time: 2 h
Total time: 2 h 35 min

Ingredients: 1 broiler/fryer chicken (2 to 3 pounds); 2-1/2 quarts water; 1/2 medium onion, chopped; 3 teaspoons salt; 2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules; 1/8 teaspoon pepper; 1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram; 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme; 1 bay leaf; 1-1/2 cups uncooked fine egg noodles; 1 cup chopped celery; 1 cup chopped carrots

I like making homemade noodles and I often add carrots, potatoes and corn to this soup. To me, homemade soup means homemade bread, too! Rich soup and fresh bread...what great country food at any time of year.

Ingredients

1 broiler/fryer chicken (2 to 3 pounds)
2-1/2 quarts water
1/2 medium onion, chopped
3 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1 bay leaf
1-1/2 cups uncooked fine egg noodles
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped carrots

Directions

In a stockpot, combine the first 9 ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 1-1/2 hours. Remove chicken; allow to cool. Strain broth; discard bay leaf.
Skim fat. Debone chicken and cut into chunks; return chicken and broth to pan. Add the noodles, celery and carrots; bring to a boil.
Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 25-30 minutes or until noodles and vegetables are tender.

After reading the reviews, I was expecting to be totally impressed with this recipe. I was not. Its not bad, but I did expect more. Honestly, I was looking for something that comes close to Cracker Barrel's chicken noodle soup, which this does not. Its not a bad recipe but surely not a spectacular one. My hunt for the perfect chicken noodle soup recipe continues.

This is delicious! I did have to substitute chicken breast for the fryer chicken so I cut down the cook time to 45 minutes. Even great the next day for lunch!

I have used this delicious recipe for years after seeing it in a Taste of Homes Soup magazine. It is so easy and yummy - I especially like to make it when someone in my family has a cold. :)

This is absolutely wonderful! I did use a whole large onion, added some frozen peas, garlic and rosemary. Will make this time and again!
