REVIEWS:

I am looking forward to trying my hand at making soup. this recipes sounds wonderful. Thank you for sharing.

I have never tried home made chicken noodle soup before and I REALLY glad I did! Delicious flavor!!! I used a rorisserie chicken instead of regular cooked chicken and it gave it more "chikeny" flavor. Next time I'll cut down the potatoes and add more carrots, celery and even add some peas. Well worth the time!

This one of the best chicken soups I've ever had! Very hearty and flavorful. I've made it twice already to have for lunches at work all week long. I can't get enough of it!

I think the word soup is used very loosely for describing this recipe. I didn't even get as far as adding the milk and the "broth" was really more of a gravy. I started adding more chicken broth but after it sat for even another 30 minutes, the liquid was pretty much gone again, soaked up by the noodles or who knows what. It tasted OK, but with potatoes and all that going on, let's just call it a stew. I can't say it was worth repeating for me.

So yummy! I thought 4 cups off potatoes was a bit over kill, but don't think you should omit them all together. I really like how the potatoes cook and disintegrate into the broth.I used whole grain noodles also. I will never use chicken noodle soup in the can again :)

Everyone loves this soup. I modify the recipe a little ..... skip the potatoes, double the carrots, add a little pepper and use 2 heaping cups of noodles. Nice and thick and tasty.

This is definitely a superior chicken noodle soup! My daughter made off with the recipe before I could type it into my recipe collection, and I had to spend a lot of time looking it up again on the web site. I followed two of the suggestions and cooked bone-in thighs in the broth and added peas at the end. Also (since I am not very health conscious) I used real cream instead of evap milk since I think its color is more appetizing, and substituted leaks instead of regular onion. Once, long ago, I heard that what makes great chicken soup (the kind the Jewish moms make) is the combination of leeks and garlic. As well, I added 2 more cups of broth and reduced the potatoes to 2 cups. Mushrooms sauteed first in butter would make a great addition. Finally, I think meat from a rotisserie chicken would be very good in this soup, too. This goes to the top of my list of chicken soups.

I added more chicken broth, I like it more soupy. It's more like a casserole.

This turned out very well, was nice and creamy. Everyone loved it and thought the potatoes added a little something to it. I personally thought the potatoes were a bit much and overpowered the rest of the flavors slightly. I will leave them out next time and hope i don't get yelled at for it. Definitely going to become a frequent meal.

We enjoyed the overall flavor of this dish. I didn't have poultry seasoning, and I didn't take the time to Google a good substitute, so I threw in some rosemary instead. I also left out the milk, as it just seemed strange. Things to change for next time: I'm adding some green beans in, leaving out 1/2 the potatoes and putting in some extra noodles.

We did enjoy this dish! Thank you!
