Very very good. It was my first time making chicken noodle soup from scratch, and I followed a lot of "StacyB1967"s suggestions, since she raved so much. I boiled a whole chicken using this website's "Boiled Chicken" recipe by George. Then I used 3 cups of stock from that boiled chicken, and 9 cups regular water for the soup, as Stacy suggested. (Next time I'll do about half stock, half water - that stock was good.) I doubled everything she suggested we double in the recipe, except for the butter. The amount of butter originally suggested is plenty to saute the celery and onions. The only thing it needs is a little salt. I added one teaspoon of salt at the end, and that did the trick. And then just dash on a bit more everytime you pour yourself a bowl (who doesn't do that?), and it's perfect. It tastes even better the second and third days! I think it really helped to nip my cold in the bud, too. Thank you for the great recipe... and to "StacyB1967" for sharing her suggestions.

First attempt making this. It was so easy I left out the margorum and bayleaf (don't care for either flavor) but it came out really well I also cut down the amount of stock and used Wyler's bullion crystals. Made for a very pretty soup. Being a single mom in a 2 person household I separated it into canning jars and let cool to store in the fridge for up to a week. I also shared with my best friend. Was perfect for lunch at work, simply pour the amount needed and store the rest for the next day.

This soup is awesome... if you make a few changes. First, I use a whole rotisserie chicken. I cut off the breasts and then let the rest of the chicken sit for awhile in the broth. Also, I use chicken stock and broth (Swanson's) like someone else suggested instead of water and bouillon cubes. Finally, I added extra celery and carrots and added a little fresh garlic when sauteing the celery and onions.

I cooked chicken breast in the crock pot in chicken broth for several hours and used that meat in the soup. Next time I will add more carrots, other than that I thought it was prefect! All my kids loved it (ages 1, 3, 5, & 7). Super soup - thanks for a great recipe!

This is a good base recipe but, like others, I added a few things. First, I boiled a whole chicken in water and added 2 cans of Swanson's chicken broth (also a little bouillon granules to taste). I sauted the vegetables with 1-2 cloves of garlic and then added everything to a crock-pot (minus the egg noodles). About 40 minutes prior to serving, I added Reames Noodles to the crockpot and served with warm multi-grain french bread!!! Delicious

I ended up making this in the crockpot...I did everything as directed and then just cooked on high for 4 hours. It came out deliciously! I ended up omitting the celery (as I had none), using 3 carrots, and 1 chicken hindquarter. I agree with another review that garlic and some salt would really make this soup even better! Mine also kind of "gelled" up after I refrigerated it and heated up some as leftovers, it was still good, but I found it kind of weird that it would do that.

Super yummy. Cooking the onions and celery in butter is the secret to the great flavor. Even better with homemade noodles.

Wonderful flavor! I boiled the chicken and used that as a broth base mixed with boxed chicken broth and 2 tsp chicken bouillon granules. I'm not sure how it would have been if I had just used the fake stuff, but I bet it would not be as tasty. I also added a little lemongrass for added complexity. It was the best chicken noodle soup I have made yet!

Good soup. I use the "boiled chicken" recipe from this site, replace the water with a mix of the stock from boiling my chicken and canned chicken broth, add a little garlic, and use Reames frozen egg noodles, because they are hearty and taste homemade. My four year old son loves when I make this!

This recipe adapted very well to a vegetarian version. I used vegetable bouillon and vegetarian "chik'n" patties, chopped up, for the meat. I reduced the amount of bouillon somewhat`and added extra celery since I had some I wanted to use up. My whole family loved this, meat-eaters and vegetarians alike.

I use four large chicken breasts, boiled in low sodium chicken broth with onions and celery, and a good hand full of chopped parsley. Take the chicken out with a slotted spoon and let cool. when cool, take off the skin and put back the meat. Then I put about 2 pounds of sliced carrots. Bring to a boil again with the meat, and boullion cubes, as needed if you want.
