The only thing I did different was to throw in my leftover gravy. I know I will make this again. It's so easy and it tastes great too! What more could you ask for.

With leftover thanksgiving stuff, I had everything except the leeks, so I use an onion instead. Couldn't be easier to make; no funky ingredients. This is the same soup I would buy in a can, so it's comfortable, but much, much better than any can! The next time I have a leftover chicken breast or two, I'm turning it into this!

Let this soup simmer for about 2 hours so that the flavors really get into the soup. The leeks really added to it. If you don't know how to cut up leeks, you chop about 1/2 inch off the white root/bottom part and about 6 inches of the green part, and then use the rest of it chopped up. The leeks are one reason I chose this recipe over others. When cooked, leeks give things a great flavor. I also added more celery, carrots and garlic than the recipe called for.

I used 10 cups of reduced-sodium chicken broth, because 8 made it too thick for me. I used 2 tsps fresh thyme instead of dried. Make sure you only use the thyme leaves and not the twig. I also added fresh cilantro to this recipe. It really enhanced the flavor. I didn't add it or the fresh thyme until the noodles were cooked though. I used medium egg noodles instead of the wide. The wide seem to soak up all the soup when I use them.

Although I have not yet tried it, all the flavors of this soup suggest that simmering this soup with fresh lemon peel would be the "cherry on top".

It tasted wonderful, but last minute I had to add more chicken stock. It was so thick! After the noodles absorbed all the stock, it was more of a thick stew. However, the flavor was good, and we did enjoy it.

I thought this recipe would be ready to eat hot off the burner; however, it took a day for the flavors to really come together. Now it's great, but I am probably not going to go with another "instant" recipe when it comes to soup, something that time can only cure.

This was by far the simplest and tastiest soup that can truly be ready for serving in less than an hour, and that's taking my time. Made it with chicken since that's what I had left over, and served with a garlic cheese bread and orange wedges. Nutritious, filling, and satisfying. What more could you ask for!

This soup was excellent!! I've always thrown out my leftover turkey because we get sick of sandwiches, but now I buy turkey breast especially to make this soup. My kids and husband all wanted seconds. I did use rice instead of noodles. Everyone who thought the thyme was too strong, just remember when using "ground" thyme it is less than half the amount. I used about 1 teaspoon of ground thyme.

This turned out great last night. After reading the comments here, I did opt to use fresh thyme (1 tablespoon and it was the perfect amount of seasoning. I think that two teaspoons of the dried stuff would overtake the other flavors. I also added a handful of diced potatoes.

I usually see reviews of recipes with subsitutions made and wonder, did they even try the recipe as written, and if so, are they reviewing their recipe, or the one on the site? That being said, I did try this as written before making my adjustments.

I tend to like a little spicy side of things, but not so that the flavors are lost in the spice and all you taste is the heat. This was a little bland for my taste, however with a few shakes of tabasco and a couple of tablespoons of chopped fresh cilantro, it elevated it to a very nice soup. Simple I know, but it gave it more of a subtle twang that we like. I also added more chicken stock to give it more broth to sip. I would recommend it for those who don't like it spicy, but for those who do, well just add a little of what you like and then you'll have a winner too.
