I tweaked the recipe as well after reading reviews. This was my first time making Chicken soup and I think it turned out well. Use chicken broth instead, with 2 cup water. 5 carrots, 5 stalks celery, 3/4 whole onion and a little less than 1/2 Pkg of noodles. Since I didn't have bouillon cubes I used poultry seasons, pepper to taste. Not bad for my first time. Think if I had of follow like the recipe it would have been too much. My husband doesn't care for carrots to begin with, we both were sick and I heard chicken soup is good for you when you have a cold.

This recipe is for someone who likes a lot of 'stuff' in their soup and not a lot of broth. Since I have broth lovers I had to supplement a LOT with some homemade chicken stock and white wine. It is mild (i.e. bland) but nothing that a little bit of garlic and parsley wouldn't fix. Solid basic recipe to build off of to adjust to family tastes.

Yum! Good soup. Had left over chicken from a whole chicken i cooked the nite before. used 4 boullins instead. I cooked my noodles seperately and added at the end. I also used minced garlic. It didnt need to cook for 2 hrs when u have chicken ready to go.

I gave this recipe 4 stars because as it is presented it is lacking liquid and spices. However, I liked the idea of using boneless chicken breasts instead of having to remove chicken from the bone. I altered the following ingredients for an excellent result: I used 1 addt'l chicken breast half, substituted the water and bouillon for 16 cups chicken broth, decreased the egg noodles to only 8 oz, and added 2 bay leaves, 2 tsp oregano, 2 tsp basil, 1/2 tsp salt, and a 1/4 tsp pepper. I also did not add the egg noodles until 20 minutes before serving.

I cooked the chicken after cooking took out and let it cool. I used the same water and used carrots, onion and celery. Needed only 5 bullion cubes. Cut chicken in cubes and added also used white pepper and red pepper flakes. Put in 3 handfuls of noodles not the whole package. Was Fabby my husband loved it
