    I made it with gnocchi and brined the chicken for 3 hours first.The brodo was to die for.Do to the brine, no additional salt was needed. This will become my go to chicken stock from now on. Thank you Michael, The Soup Nazi.

    This recipe was more project than anything. It is pretty taste but nothing extraordinary.

    I started the recipe, ate a lunch, and by the time the recipe was finished I was hungry again.

    The results were nothing spectacular (even though I added a months worth of salt and pepper.

    I will not cook this again.

    i made this soup yesterday with high hopes that i had found my new favorite soup. i love the technique of caramelizing the vegetables and i really think it added a lot of depth to the overall flavor profile. i browned both sides of the chicken but found that the non-skinned side developed a rather leathery top layer that i ended up peeling off when i shredded the chicken. in the future, i will only brown the skin side and just let the other side braise in the soup liquid. the most unfortunate thing about this soup is that it's really not very impressive to look at. in all honesty, it looks much like ramen noodles in beef broth, certainly not something you'd hope for after spending 4 hours at the stove! in the end i found the broth to be amazingly flavorful and i will definitely make it again. but i think i'll also toss a few vegies into the finished broth to make it look at bit more appetizing. my last word of caution.... heed michael's advice when he tells you to taste the soup and season liberally. 10 cups of water takes a fair amount of salt & pepper to give it flavor. don't be fooled by the quantity you use... follow your palate!

    This broth had little if any flavor. It really needs some flavor.

    I will admit it was time consuming. Smelled REALLY good while cooking. I thought the flavor was great too.

    I loved this soup, however it is an incredible amount of work. I think I'd save this recipe for a special occasion, when I had plenty of time to cook.

    I followed the recipe to a T, with the exception that I made the broth the day before, refrigerated it, and skimmed off a lot of the fat. The brodo was sort of bland, unfortunately, after all that cooking. It looked and smelled good, but the taste did not match. As such, the soup was dull. Will not make again.

    This has to be the best soup I've ever had. The broth is rich with a lovely color. It was a hit with my husband who stated, "This is a keeper!" I have made the recipe 3 times this past winter and sent it along to family...It is a bit of an all day event, but believe me it's worth the time....Enjoy...
