"Found this recipe in a magazine and while I haven't made it, I'm anxious to give it a try. What's better for those cold, winter eves than a hot bowl of chicken noodle soup, and this one sounds a little different to me with leeks, parsnips and lemon in the stock and dill in the soup. The long prep time includes stock cooking time. You can use this as a base with differant additions, I've added frozen peas and mushroom slices a few minutes before serving and have even cooked it all in the crockpot for ease. Last time I changed out the egg noodles for home made. I haven't tried it yet - but thinking a can of stewed tomatoes added might be good to, play with it to your own liking."
