I did add more mirepoix, chicken and wide noodles. I also thickened it a little with a cornstarch slurry. I used fresh thyme and a bay leaf, no marjoram. Great on a cold rainy night!

I have relied on this short cut chicken noodle soup many, many times. Thank goodness for quick takes like this on the original, more time-intensive classics – especially when you’ve got a sick hubs at home and chicken noodle soup is in order “stat.” Common ingredients I always have on hand allowed me to fix a soothing bowl of chicken noodle soup for Hubs in no time. I’m not a fan of any seasoning in my chicken noodle soup, so I omitted the marjoram and thyme, just giving it a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley to finish. I also used a pastina, acini de pepe, (a tiny soup pasta) rather than the egg noodles. Use a good boxed chicken broth or stock and you’ve got something pretty darned close to “the real thing,” simmered for hours.

My family loved this recipe, even my very picky 11-yr-old daughter. One thing that I did use and suggest is the Wolfgang Puck's All Natural Stock-Roasted Chicken version for the chicken broth. Very good!

This is a great recipe! So easy to make. I pretty much stuck to the recipe, except a few minor variations, I cooked the cubed chicken in the soup as I feel this makes it more tender and I added more egg noodles than this recipe called for. I also added some chopped garlic to the veggies as they were cooking. This is delicious and took no time to make!

EASY and YUMMY!!!!! I just took my 1st sample bite while the Clemson Tigers WIN their 7th game in a row....This IS a KEEPER!!!!

Very good. I boiled whole wheat noodles in a separate pot. In my large Dutch oven I put 3x's the ingredients called for, using a large package of chicken thighs with skin to make a good flavorful broth, added a can of vegetable broth, chicken broth, and enough water to cover the ingredients, a little dill and a bay leaf. When the pot came to a boil I turned it to simmer for 1 1/2 hours. Removed thighs and pulled the meat off and added back to pot. To serve I put some noodles in the soup bowl and added the soup. Had enough to freeze for 2 more meals. Easy and delicious.

My husband decided to make this for dinner and it is delicious. He added some peas and a minced clove of garlic. It is now one of our favorites. We use whole wheat noodles as well. He also used left over turkey which we had in the freezer from Thanksgiving which we needed to use up.

Just made this this was so good i added peas to this also and thickend with a little cornstarch the best chicken noodle soup recipe I've found ty for shareing!

Fabulous basic chicken noodle soup. First I made a couple of small changes. I used 6 chicken breasts I boiled so I would have the broth and threw out the bones and skin after I had boiled them. (The bones and skin add to the flavor I believe. I added a bay leaf, 1/2 Tsp of sweet basil, 1/2 tsp fresh ground peppercorn, 1 cup frozen peas, more carrots (I used baby carrots for visual appeal and to make the soup "chunkier") and mashed two leftover potatoes to thicken and give this soup a delicious texture. (My boyfriend don't like a watery soup as much) It is also possible to add some mashed or food processed vegatables to the mix to add more veggies and hide them from "Non vegatable" eaters to give them more nutrition! For variety I add shitake mushrooms, white button mushrooms, white corn, a small amount of red peppers (to add to the soup visually and add a tiny amount of flavor), small amounts of frozen spinach torn into small pieces and and snow peas to make it a more gourmet delight. I add the mushrooms and snowpeas in the last 30 minutes of cooking and prepare them separately so they do not turn into mush. If you add a 1/2 cup (or less) of a nice sherry wine or a light white wine it really adds another dimension to the soup for special occasions. I have had rave reviews from both versions of this recipe and both are now are now permanently in my recipe box. I call this recipe my "starter" soup recipe for chicken soup.

Very quick and easy soup. I added more vegetables and some fresh garlic.Thanks for the recipe.
