This recipe made great soup and I just added 1/8th cup of cream sherry wine for that zest flavor!

Really good.Baked the chicken in the oven. Set aside to cool. Cooked vegetables in a little oil then continued as directions indicated.

This was a very good recipe. The only changes I made were as follows: breasts instead of thighs, the addition of 3 tbsps of chicken base, and we used tiny pasta instead of egg noodles. Very good recipe.

I read a lot of reviews before making this. The ONLY change I made was that I used chicken breasts vs chicken thighs. This was by far THE BEST Chicken Noodle Soup I’ve ever had!! Plenty of flavor and warms your entire body up on a cold night!! This will definitely be a regular in our home. Thank you for sharing this delicious recipe! If you haven’t made this yet, you are missing out!

This recipe is very good! It was a little salty so next time I would do low sodium broth. I also used breasts on the bone instead of thighs to reduce the "grease" as suggested on another review. Lastly, after removing chicken, I brought the broth to boil and cooked the egg noodles according to the package, about 10 minutes and the noodles were perfect. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

This has to be the best chicken noodle soup I’ve ever had. I have to make double the recipe just so the family can have their share. The only thing I would complain about is the amount of chicken broth. If the soup isn’t getting eaten all in one sitting add anouther 4 cups. Still best soup ever

I hate to give bad reviews but this was just... not good. My mom and I followed the recipe exactly and it was so beyond bland, it was unreal. The noodles also nearly ruined the entire dish with how gross and starchy they made everything. My mom and I ended up having to remove them (painstakingly). I then cooked down another onion and three more cloves of garlic with salt, pepper, chicken stock, some steak spice and a little hoisin sauce. It helps significantly so the soup actually had some taste to it. At first I thought it was just me (because I really don’t care for soup), but the rest of my family was super disappointed as well. :( additionally, the offered time I would not say is at all accurate. At least, not in our case. It took more like 2-3 tbh.

Delicious! I made this yesterday because I felt a cold coming on and it seemed like just what I wanted for dinner. I didn't have bone-in chicken thighs, so I used boneless. I might add a tad more garlic next time, but other than that, this is a definite keeper. Husband likes it too. This is the only chicken soup recipe I've made where the noodles didn't expand and absorb most of the liquid!

Of course I love it... I've made this identical recipe for 50 years... excluding the lemon and thyme that is!
