This soup is very tasty! I did it just a bit differently. I put the broth, carrots, celery, onions, and pepper & Mrs. Dash in a pot on the stove and let it simmer slow. Then in a fry pan, I put olive oil & butter and then the chicken pieces(seasoned with ground ginger). Then I minced garlic and onion and put them on top of the chicken along with some rosemary. I just browned the chicken. Then, I placed the chicken and the pan juices in the simmering broth mixture. I brought to a boil, then simmered for an hour. After that, take out the chicken and tear it into pieces and place back in the broth mix along with the noodles. Ready to Serve.

I have to give it 5 stars. I've been on a soup kick all winter and have been making enough to give to a bachelor friend of ours. His comment on this one was that it was the best chicken noodle soup that he has had in a long time. Only change I made was to add more chicken.

Love it! I added a bullion cube and made a mistake by putting minced ginger in with the chicken instead of slices that you take out after cooking, but it was really good that way. I also added corn which was a nice addition.

In trying out various chicken soups from this site, I was hesitant to try this because of the fresh ginger. But I was wrong. This soup has amazing flavor. It lacked something, so I added minced fresh garlic, some fresh sage and 3T of chicken bouillon granules. I added 3 times the chicken and noodles because we prefer a hearty soup. Just a little hint, to give chicken soup a more full-bodied, earthy flavor, try adding 3T beef bouillon granules to the mix. Yummy!

Everyone loved this so much. I didn't add celery due to my husband hating it so much. I also added corn and orzo's. It was so good my 9 yr old has requested this as his birthday meal for his upcoming birthday. Can't get better or easier than this.

It's really tasty!. I sauteed crushed garlic and ginger, chopped green onions with the chicken breasts. Put into the broth a sprig of thyme and rosemary, 2 bay leaves, and it came out really good!. Will make it again sometime.

This was a wonderful soup for tonights dinner with the chilly temperatures! I sauted my chicken with a little EVOO, chopped red onions, lots of garlic, ground ginger and some fresh parsely. I used two cans of low sodium chicken broth and one can of low sodium cream of chicken. I added some corn and campanelle pasta because that is all I had on hand. I added some basil, rosemary, a pinch of cayenne pepper, a pinch of garlic powder, and pepper. I also used a little cornstarch to thicken the soup--served it all with some toasted wheat rolls--my husband loved the homemade flavor (instead of can soup) and the comfort of warm soup on a chilly night. I will certainly use this recipe again-it is so versatile! Thank you Jean!

I was skeptical that a quick chicken soup would taste good. I pretty much tripled the recipe and it came out great. The fresh ginger makes the dish. My husband says this recipe is a "keeper."

this soup was very good, I've never made chicken soup before and this was a good one to start with. I used the skinny egg noodles which cook quickly so the veggies needed a little more time to cook but other than that the soup is great. I added kosher salt and italian seasoning.

I absolutely loved this recipe. I did a few things different only because of what I had on hand but the ginger in this is fabulous! I used ground ginger because I didn't have fresh. I also used green beans and corn because that's all I had on hand. My husband just went nuts over this and I didn't mind because hey, it's healthy!! Oh, and one more thing, I also used a chicken soup base and made it a little stronger. I love spices so I added some others that I had on hand like a little crushed red pepper, just enough to give it a kick and I also added some cayenne pepper. Didn't need salt because I used a lot of chicken soup base. Thanks for a great recipe!!! Really easy!

this was great. I ended up adding another 1 1/2 cups of chicken and noodles to make it thicker. I also put in a can of cream of chicken soup to thicken it a little bit. and added some garlic salt to add flavor. My family loved it. Can't wait to have the leftovers for lunch.

I made this soup for a friend who was sick. It was very hearty and colorful, a pick-me-up. I had to add a little more flavoring to it, was a little bland for my taste, but she loved it and so did my family!

This recipe was delicious! I had to make a few changes according to what was in my pantry. Since I made this a few days after Thanksgiving, I used turkey. Instead of ginger root, I used ground ginger sauteed with the turkey and added Chicken Seasoning suggested by other reviews. I would recommend doubling the recipe as my family almost wiped out this meal in one sitting!
