Update: my bf's mom made this soup as a side dish with easter dinner. She omtted the noodles and used dried herbs. The soup tasted much better than I remember (tasted like mine did after sitting for a day)! I made this soup for dinner. It was a cold, snowy Chicago night - and it hit the spot! I will only give this 4 stars though, b/c it was a bit bland.... The fresh herbs didn't perk up the flavor as I thought they would.... Fresh herbs are VERY expensive, but b/c chicken noodle is my favorite soup, I went all out and bought EVERYTHING fresh. I could have used dried herbs (which I had on hand) and the broth would have tasted about the same... maybe not (I'll have to try with dried next time in order to make the distinction)??? To shorten prep time, I cut up a purchased lemon garlic rotisserie chicken breast. I added the chicken and noodles in the last step and simmered for about 10-12 minutes until the noodles were done. I think I used a little less than half the bag of noodles (I halved the recipe) and I don't think I need to add more - or less the next time I make this. In my opinion, this soup tastes even better the next day after the herbs have had a chance to penetrate the broth (and my egg noodles didn't swell like most reviewers warned!). Thanks for a great, simple recipe that I can add to my collection!

Loved this in our house! Cut back to 4 servings. Used fresh parsley and rosemary from the garden, and added a little fresh oregano and basil, since it was growing there, too. Used dried thyme and tarragon. Only had one can of broth, so I used plain water with several chicken bouillon cubes. Waited to put the noodles in until about 10 minutes before it was done so they wouldn't be soggy. It was really good and we will make it again!

This recipe was great and very easy. I used one less carrot and an extra onion instead (my husband isn't a big fan of carrots).

I picked this recipe because I thought the fresh herbs would give it extra flavor, but I didn't think it was anything special. I'd try a different recipe next time.

This was a great soup! I did not add rosemary, and it is much better the next day after it sits. I made for a sick friend who enjoyed every slurp. Thanks!

A little on the bland side, even with the fresh herbs, I had to add more dried to enhance the flavor. An old secret to adding an "earthier" flavor to chicken soup is to stir in about 2 tablespoons of beef bouillon granules. I also added a tablespoon of poultry seasoning.Thanks for sharing.

Simple and easy for a cold winter's day.

My daughter has a nasty cold, and I made this soup last night for her. It is delicious! Since she doesn't like carrots, I substituted peas,[her favorite], and green beans. I think the secret to the great taste is in cooking onions, etc. in oil first. We love this soup! Thanks Steve!

This has great flavor with lots of meat and vegetables. I love it.

Love this soup! I made it in my crockpot using leftover rotisserie chicken. Rather than fresh herbs I used dried. Cooked on low all day and added noodles for a few minutes to cook at the end. This one's a keeper!

My whole family LOVED this recipe! I am not a big soup fan but I REALLY loved this recipe!

Wow! This soup was so wonderful and easy to prepare. I gave a big batch to my sis-in-law and she loved it. Thanks Steve!

I just made this today and loved it! I added some sliced mushrooms because I happened to have some and needed to use them up, but I don't think it added much to the recipe. I will definately make this again, but with less egg noodles. I may try some hot sauce too. Thanks for the great recipe!

I LOVE this soup! I just read it about half an hour ago and it's just about ready, but I have already tasted it and can't wait to eat a bowlful! I did not have the fresh herbs on hand so I used about 3/4 t of each, dried. So yummy! I've tried similar recipes before, but the difference is the herbs. Thank you, Steve!!!

Very tasty and smells wonderful as it's cooking. I only cook enough noodles for what I need at the time so that I don't have mushy noodles when I reheat the left overs. Was a nice, comforting soup for this drizzly, gray day. Thank you.

I made this for my husband when he was sick. It was great! I did not use taragon (i didnt have it in the house) and instead of cooking the noodles in the soup I boiled in a seperate pan and added to bowl per individual dish. Also, I used dried spices and added a little bit of white peppercorn. I will make this again for sure! Super easy...had that "simmering all day" flavor in less than half the time! I think cooking the veggies down helps cook in less time. The only other thing I added that the recipe didnt call for was celery seed...i just used a tiny bit as I love the flavor of celery in soup.
