This is very good comfort food! I made the broth using chicken with the skins on for more flavor. I also used a combination of breasts and thighs because we love the dark meat in this family. Next time I make this I will add some veggies--maybe some celery and carrots and perhaps peas. My 7 yo DS loved this! Thanks for posting LorenLou! -
Loved this and it was so easy to make. I made just a couple changes. I added a bay leaf to the chicken and veggies while it simmered. I used Better than Bouillon instead of cubes, just because I like the taste better (I used approx 3 teaspoons). I added a small pinch of red pepper, but would probably use half that amount next time. It had a kick, and left me with heartburn. My husband and child didn't notice, though. For the noodles, I used Amish-made extra wide noodles. I made the soup in the morning, and put it in the fridge until dinner time. The noodles had absorbed a TON of the liquid, and so it ended up being more of a chicken stew. I was really glad! It was nice and thick and hearty. Thanks for a great recipe. My daughter liked it so much that she had it for breakfast the next morning! It made the house smell absolutely wonderful while it cooked.

This is just delicious! I love any kind of chicken soup, and this one is so creamy and rich I think I could eat the whole pot myself. Trust me this makes a lot. Hubby and I will be eating on this for days, but I won't mind. -
My family devoured this. I wasn't quite as enthusiastic because I kept comparing it to my gradma's, which has homemade noodles and is the best I've ever had. Still, it's really delicious. We had it with biscuits and mashed potatos... If you don't have a ton of people to feed, make half. This recipe makes more than you think it will... Also, I added frozen peas, corn and carrots at the end. -
Had a house full of family this weekend. Made this soup and cornbread as you suggested. They loved it and it made enough to feed all seventeen of us!! My Dad liked the creaminess of the broth and noodles that still had the flavor of the veggies without the veggies - kind of like the chicken and noodles people make and serve over mashed potatoes here in Indiana. Mom asked for the recipe. She'll be taking this to the next soup supper at her church. Delicious soup...thanks for sharing LorenLou!

I live in Sugar Land, Texas. I love to try new recipes. My husband jokes that if he likes something, I never make it again for 6 months! My children are very picky, but do have their favorites that I try to include in our menu more often than every 6 months.
