Chunky Chicken Noodle Soup

Name: Chunky Chicken Noodle Soup
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 15 min
Total time: 25 min
Yield: 6 servings.
Ingredients: 1/2 cup finely chopped carrot; 1/4 cup finely chopped celery; 1/4 cup finely chopped onion; 1 teaspoon butter; 6 cups chicken broth; 1-1/2 cups cubed cooked chicken; 1 teaspoon salt; 1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram; 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme; 1/8 teaspoon pepper; 1-1/4 cups uncooked medium egg noodles; 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley

Marjoram and thyme come through nicely in this old-fashioned soup that tastes just like Grandma used to make. You can modify the recipe to include vegetables your family enjoys. My kids love carrots, so I always toss in extra. —Coleen Martin, Brookfield, Wisconsin

This is a very good chicken noodle soup. I did make one major change this time. I had a package of Sweet Potato Fettucine Noodles in my refrigerator so I steamed those in their package and added them to the soup at the very end for a wonderful gluten free take on this homemade soup. I will continue to make this soup that way not only for health issues (celiac disease) but also for flavor. It was wonderful!

Quick and easy to make. Used whole grain noodles but they seemed to disappear into the soup. Will try a different pasta such as Penne next time.

Agree with several other reviewers that this is a bit salty. Otherwise, delicious, and very comforting on a cold day

The best recipe for chicken noodle soup I have ever used. The only thing I do different is leave out the salt. There is enough seasoning with all the other herbs that we never notice the missing salt! I also make it in double and triple batches and freeze it for later.. I give it away and it's always well liked. Delicious.

Next time I will omit salt and maybe add 1 - 2 cups more water. It is a bit salty. I cooked my chicken with some garlic as well.
