This was EXTREMELY bland. I would never put onions in my chicken noodle soup, and where are the carrots and other spices and herbs?
i just added abag of chopped frozen soup vegitables.
Easy and yummy.
Great basic recipe. My son loved it. He likes chicken noodles soup with lots of noodles. Depending on the humidity of your pantry, the liquid will need adjusting as flour may be extra dry. I always need more water for noodles in winter. I have a pasta attachment for my kitchen aid so short noodles with the spagettattachment worked perfectly.
Uhm, where’s the chicken hearts and/or gizzards? My mom used to put that in our chicken soup which probably explains why we’re so healthy!
The only changes I made were no egg noodles and no salt- subbed with riced cauliflower instead (on low carb diet) still delicious! like the old time chicken and stars soup
Wonderful. and easy to make The picture showed carrots, but the recipe did not. So I added 1 cup of diced carrots. Very yummy
I did add some additional spices and more carrots, but that’s a personal preference.
Best chicken noodle soup recipe I have ever found. The only change I made was to add carrots.
Delicious and easy recipe. I made a few personal preference edits to add more natural vitamins for a healthier soup and a bit more flavor.. I’m sure the recipe is excellent by itself though. Did not use butter or sauté the celery and onions hence cutting down on the fat. I also cooked the skinless boneless chicken breasts (you can use skinless chicken breast with bone) in the 12 cups of water using only 8 bullion cubes and cooked for 1 hour before adding the veggies and spices from Grandmas soup recipe, adding one ripe tomato, 1 potato with skin (in liu of cornstarch), 5 small whole garlic cloves and 1 small turnip cut in 3. I discard the Turnip at the end before adding the noodles, I used 6 ounces dried noodles to keep the soup more brothy. All veggie’s were finely diced (my preference for getting more of a mix of veggies and flavor in every spoonful. Totally cooking time was 2.5 hours, I finely diced the veggies while the chicken breast were cooking so the 2.5 hours included prep time and clean up once all ingredients were simmering together.
This is a great recipe and comes together in less than an hour. Measure your noodles carefully, too many will make the soup to thick. I added 1 cup of carrots and 2 cloves of garlic. I also recommend skinless boneless chicken thighs.
Such an easy recipe to follow and the whole family love it. Fabulous !!!
Why is the measurement for noodles in cups instead of ounces?
My family Loves this soup!! I reccomend it
I love doing things like my mamaw learned me how so I do all my cooking can’t afford a restaurant food love new recipes ☺️
I like to cook the chicken in the broth with baby carrots, and the sautéed onions and celery. We don’t do noodles, Husband makes dumplings and then adds them to the soup. While he’s doing that, I’m deboning and shredding the now cooked chicken, to return to the pot.
I’m a salt lover, but I’ll cut back on the salt the next time I make this. I did add some carrots and black pepper, otherwise, followed the recipe. The poultry seasoning was a good addition, one I’d never before seen in chicken noodle soup, and the cornstarch slurry gave a nice consistency to the broth. We enjoyed along with a big salad for dinner.
This is an amazing recipe. I added a tablespoon of creamy chicken broth and a stick of butter for added flavor and a can of carrots. It was amazing.
This is simply an amazing, great recipe.
I have made this for years now, it never disappoints and is so easy. You can throw in whatever you want…carrots, onion, garlic, etc. I aso do half low sodium and regular broth. Always good on a cold night
Oh, this is good! Over the years I’ve tried many different recipes for chicken noodle soup but they always seem to be missing something. This one’s about to be a staple in my house!❤️
