This recipe gives you the option to use canned chicken or 2 chicken breasts. I have never used canned chicken but many many times I use rotisserie chicken. I also add a bay leaf, sometimes even mushrooms, another guy uses cabbage. Sometimes I have to add bouillon cubes also. Personal preference really.

Super easy and delicious. It's a keeper!

Hi, I used your recipe as a guide to blend together some "make do" ingredients for a small batch to serve 4. My chicken broth was a carton in the pantry nearing exp date, which I condensed down some with a bay leaf celery leaf, a garlic clove and a carrot (i cut the carrot up for the soup)while I sauteed the onion celery in 2 tbsp. butter. My noodles were cooked thin spaghetti in Alfredo sauce, which I chopped roughly and added at the end. The little meat I had was some white meat Turkey bits from the freezer, added at the last with some frozen tiny peas.

I made this today and this is very good. I made it with rotisserie chicken.

Very good!! I used this recipe as a base but cut the butter to 1/2 stick, added a can of cream of chicken soup and also added a tsp of poultry seasoning.

Perfect! Everyone LOVES it. Thank you sooooo much :)

I halved this recipe and it turned out great. I used a "Pictsweet Seasoning Blend" I found in the frozen veggies section at the grocery - it has onions, celery, a few peppers and a little parsley in it. I also added some matchstick carrots that I chopped up a little. This made the recipe super easy to make and it cooked faster.

Maybe the worst homemade chicken soup I have had. I thought I'd try this recipe. Seemed like a lot of butter, but everyone said they really liked the soup. I will say that my 2 young girls liked it, but the butter was so strong. It made the broth oily and after awhile it felt like you were just tasting butter.

Dennis, seems like all others liked the soup!!! Either don't put butter in it or don't eat!!!

I am the creator of this recipe and I will agree with Ken on Dennis remarks. If you don't like butter don't use it. The worst chicken noodle soup would come from a can. This recipe has been tested at many occasions and requested on soup day at family dinners for years.

Wonderful, simple recipe. I am a senior and not up to cooking a lot of time-consuming recipes anymore but still like to eat well. This is a keeper. Thanks so much!

I am pleasantly surprised how good this soup turned out! I have never used canned chicken until now and wow, really amazing in this soup! I sautéed garlic, zucchini, carrot and a red potato. Added water, brought to a boil then added "better than bullion" chicken flavor. Let it cook for a bit, turned to medium. Chopped up canned chicken and added to soup. Spiced it with spike, sage, salt and pepper. Let it cook for a bit more and voila! Delicious! Had no noodles so this was just chicken and vegetables. My family ate the entire pot and raved about it. Will make this again!

Very good!

This soup was "da bomb shiggity!" Two kids eat anything and say nothing. The other two are very picky. One of the picky ones opted for a salad. Had her taste soup last night and she ate it for breakfast first thing in the morning before I got up. Husband loved it as well. Umm, umm, good!

This is the best ever, I just made it this morning and I'm so happy with the results. I just wanted a simple soup to make for my mother on the spot and here it is. Wonderful.

I myself love the homemade chicken noodle soup recipe! I kinda like to change it up from time to time what I use mainly is these ingredients. Chicken, onions, celery, carrots, egg noodles, salt , pepper, chicken bouillon cubes, basil.

Ingredients vary from time to time. Now depending on how much of what to use depends on the quantity of how many your serving. I m self always boil my chicken and all the ingredients together gives it more of a flavor. Its a quick recipe that approx takes about 30 to 45 minutes considering if everything is from scratch or prepackaged from frozen food section at grocery stores.

I agree with you about cooking everything together. That's how My Mother taught me.

Loved it. I also added some fine chopped cabbage to mine to make it a little thicker. Help me feel a little better and my house smelled great
