Roasted Chicken Noodle Soup

By

When the weather turns chilly, Julee Wallberg stocks her soup pot with this warmer-upper. The creamy, nicely seasoned broth is chock-full of tender chicken, potatoes, carrots and celery. There's old-fashioned goodness in every spoonful of this thick, hearty soup! (Taste of Home)

REVIEWS:

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!

Excellent. I think peas would be good in it.

Very good! I cooked skinless chicken thighs in the broth with the carrots, onions and celery and then took it off the bone when I added my noodles. I think it added a good flavor to cook it that way since I didn't already have cooked chicken. Great recipe!

I've made this recipe twice in the last couple weeks! I love the thickness & blend of seasoning! It's a fantastic winter meal!

Tried it with and without the milk and liked it both ways. I made it with turkey and turkey bloth and home made noodles.

It was very tasty. I made it without the evaporated milk and the potatoes. Turned out great and it's healthier than many other chicken noodle soups. I will be making this again.

I added more salt and the poultry seasoning to it as well as 1 more cup of broth.

Only thing I would do is omit the milk.

The ultimate comfort food!!! I make it about once a week and nobody complains!

I've used this recipe twice. The first was after I had made a whole chicken and had broth leftover. The cloves I used when I baked the chicken added amazing character. I substituted mushrooms for potatoes.

I'd just leave out the evaporated milk next time.

We both really enjoyed this soup. Perfect on a cold day when you crave homemade soup! I left out the potatoes, adding 1/2 c extra carrot & celery (each) and 2 c extra noodles (used half a large pkg total). It reheats well.

This was delicious and very easy to make. The seasonings were perfect. I did find that the noodles and potatoes was a bit to much starch. The next time that I make it I think that I will add green beans instead of potatoes. I also added 2 more cups of broth. Other than that it was reallt tasty. SJS9

I made this soup for our family Christmas Eve gathering. It was delicious! I will make it again and again. Great recipe!

I rarely like chicken noodle soup (tho' I did when I was a kid). This one was terrific. I used whole wheat pastry flour (trying to be a bit healthier) and subbed fresh sage for poultry seasoning just because I had it. I only had 1 small potato (which was enough. I also had to cook my 1 1/2 cups chicken breast in the soup because I didn't have any already prepared. Topped with a spoon of sour cream and scallions. Yum. Thanks for the recipe!

My family loved it and I have a PICKY family. Thanks for sharing.

Very good flavor. I personally left the potatoes out because I felt like I didn't need all that starch. But it was still and excellent flavor. Will definitely make it again.

This soup was excellent and definitely very filling.

I LOVE THIS! I've never tried to make soup before, and for my first attempt, this may be the only soup I ever make!

This passed the test for Christmas Eve soups. Left out potatoes, too. Used Spice Islands Boumonte seasoning. We loved it!

This recipe was delicious and my husband loved it. I didn't put potatoes in it either. We will definitely be making it again soon!

Made this last night--yum! Didn't have any poultry seasoning, so I used McCormick's Grill Blends Montreal Chicken Seasoning instead. I also left out the potatoes--just didn't think they were necessary along with the noodles. I just got done eating leftovers for lunch and it was even better the next day!

I haven't made this yet, but it sure sounds yummy. The only ingredient I would leave out is the teaspoon of salt. Just don't need it.
