"My dad's sister gave my mother this recipe and we have been making chicken soup this way ever since. Everyone that has even eaten it has asked for the recipe. I no longer use the noodles due to the carbs in noodles and I find it is just as good."

As I expected from a family recipe - this was one great tasting chicken soup! Once again failed to find the Rotel tomatoes but did as I usually do to sub the Rotel's tomatoes - chopped in mild chili peppers. Went heavy with the chicken breasts and light on the noodles. Excellent flavor and made for a great supper. Looking forward to enjoying the lovely containers of your chicken soup stored in the freezer. Thank you Jacqueline, this one so a repeatable.
