This chicken “doodle” soup recipe comes from my father. (One of his grands was known by the nickname “Doodle”). Although he has been gone for 21 years, this dish still tastes as amazing as it did when I was a child.

This is excellent! I substituted chicken stock + bone broth for bouillon. It also needed a bit of salt. This is now my go to chicken soup recipe! So delicious and easy!
Very Good! I used chicken stock rather than water for the only change from this recipe. Was great flavor, served with garlic, cheese biscuits. Made last week and hubby wants to know when we’ll have it again. Soon!
This is a keeper! I’ve made other versions but this is the best. The only change I made was to use 12 cups of chicken broth completely omitting the bouillon cubes. I didn’t have any marjoram on hand so I sprinkled poultry seasoning in it’s place. I added more carrots but left the onion and celery as stated. My husband ate almost three bowls! Delicious! This will now be added to my recipe book and the other version will be taken out.
I made it the other night. I was delish and perfect for my mood. Great dish thank you !!
