Deeelish! I added a bit of dill and some potatoes at the end. My little boy ate it up. Will try adding matzo (sp?) balls the next time!

This was a lot more like my mom's chicken soup than some of the other recipes. It makes a lot, so I froze a ton and have been able to take it out of the freezer for cold nights and no time for cooking. Hubby loved it when I added some egg noodles:)

This was delicious. I added 4 boullion cubes, 3 bay leaves and salt and pepper at the end. Superb.

There really is no other way to make chicken soup! I used baby carrots and instead of a whole bird, I used 6 split breast halves. (that's all I had on hand) I have made it this way ever since I learned how to cook! definitly have to add chicken boullion!

One of my favorite soups. I add potatoes to mine. I also serve over egg noodles.

One of my all time favorites. I add 4 or 5 chicken boulions to the soup. A half an hour before it is time to eat, I boil egg noodles with 2 to 3 chicken boullion cubes and empty the entire contents into the soup. Yum! Thanks for one of my all time favorite, easy, and delicious recipes!

This was absolutely great! I added some dumplings and it was SO good! My husband is not a big fan of chicken and dumplings and he LOVED it! He even asked me to make it again next week! A very definite keeper!

I wasn't too happy with this recipe. I found that the broth was bland and the vegetables were too mushy to use throughout the cooking. In the middle of cooking, I started to follow another recipe from this site, which used more seasonings and used fresh vegetables in the end of cooking. With that recipe and a few variations that I made, the soup turned out great. But, if I stuck to following this recipe, I would not have been happy with the way it turned out. As a side note, however, I tend to like flavorful meals, which is why I did not like this soup. But, if you like bland flavors, this recipe would be good for you.

Great. I used chicken quarters instead of the whole chicken and I think it was probably less messy in the long run. I strained off the foam as suggested but in the end did not strain the broth. Because they were quarters I just served the chicken with the soup. I also added potatoes and baby carrots at the end of cooking versus the begining along with the onion. Plus I added about a 1/4 of a large tomato and also added garlic salt. In the end I used a lot of salt. I am not sure if my potatoes were absorbing it, but I used about 3 tablespoons of salt! Great recipe.
