"I got the original recipe from one of the Goldy mystery books. I changed it up to include a whole bag of egg noodles and more ingredients to feed our larger family. It's become our favorite soup."

Yes, this is our new favorite soup. I think the chicken should be sauteed 1st to get some color. And I wish there was a say to stop the noodles from soaking up the liquid & becoming a solid mass. I LOVE the addition of sour cream. This really hot the spot. Thank you! Made for PAC Fall '08.
