Extremely easy and quick for a soup base. I added the onion & carrot peelings as well as the celery base & trimming to the simmering stock for the additional taste and nutritional content. Used 2 small/med onions, 3 carrots & 3 celery stalks. Next time, I'll add bay leaf to the stock. I would use pearl onions if I wanted to get fancy for company. Using the grocery store roasted/rotisseried chicken is a brilliant idea!

The 3 cups of dry noodles are WAY too much for the amount of broth. I added only 1 bag (1 & 1/2 cups, dry). Otherwise, are really great base recipe.
