Jean THANK YOU so much for posting this GREAT recipe! This was my first time making homemade chicken noodle soup and my family LOVED it!!!! This soup has great flavor and I even got my 8 yr old to try celery for once and he LOVED it!!! The ginger really gives it a kick and I would have never thought to saute chicken with it. If you want a GREAT Chicken Noodle Soup recipe be sure to try Jean's soup... it's the best!!!!!

I used homemade chicken stock and added the slices of ginger to the broth for several minutes to give the soup a bit more of the ginger flavor. Be careful- it's easy to lose the slices of ginger in the mix of carrots and celery, and if you leave them in too long, the soup will be overpowered with ginger flavor. However, the ginger adds some zing to the soup and makes it quite tasty!

This was good. I couldn't taste the ginger at all so I must have sliced it too thin but that's easy to fix next time. I do think it needs a little bit more chicken also.

The ginger does add a wonderful element to this soup. You end up with a delicious broth that's got a little more flavor than ordinary chicken soup, but without making it too different than the classic taste I was looking for. I didn't have any fresh ginger, so I added powdered and also tossed in a few cloves of garlic.

I am the author of this recipe. Just wanted to share with you my tweaked version. *Two 32 fl oz (2 quarts) of Organic chicken broth A bag of mini carrots - I leave them as is 1 large potato - chopped 3 stalks of celery - chopped 8 frozen chicken tenderloins (I like Tyson), cubed 1 Tbs extra virgin olive oil fresh ginger, garlic or scallion Mrs. Reame's frozen pre-cooked egg noodles or dumplings salt pepper Dutch oven* In dutch oven, add broth and let it come to a boil. Add veggies and pepper. In a separate skillet, add oil, ginger (or garlic or scallions), and salt to sautee. When chicken is cooked, add to the broth. Let broth come to a boil and add noodles. The longer it cooks, the better it tastes!

This was my first time making homemade chicken noodle soup. Normally my food turns out too salty or overcooked, but this simple recipe was absolutely delicious. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
