With this recipe I made a few changes. Instead of creating a chicken stock I used half chicken broth and the other half water. To give it a little more favor I added two bolluion cubes. Since I didn't make a stock I cooked 2 chicken breast in the oven and then cut it up. I used several different spices when cooking the chicken. For spices I used ones like oregano, basil,italian seasoning and marjoram.

It tasted better then I expected.

Today I made this for the first time. I was impressed because it had some good flavor. I took the advice of the other readers and this is what I did. I sautéed the onions and celery in 4 teaspoons of butter in a pot for about five minutes. I pureed the vegetables from the chicken stock with 1 cup of store bought chicken broth. I then added the pureed vegetables to the sautéed onions and celery. After that I added the homemade chicken broth. I brought everything back to a boil and added the chicken and noodles. The only mistake I made was adding too much salt. My husband and daughter hate eating soup but they enjoyed this one. My past attempts looked like noodle casserole, because I added too many noodles. I pretty much went by the recipe so I didn’t add too much chicken or noodles.

Followed the chicken stock recipe exactly and found it a little weak as others have. So after the 90 minutes I took out the chicken and cleaned it, returning the bones/scraps to the pot to simmer for another 2-3 hours. Then I strained it and found I still had 2.5 quarts so I boiled it for 15 minutes or so to reduce it to 2 quarts. It was perfect after that (I DID NOT blend the veggies up into the stock! The extra time really allowed it to get more of the gelatin out of the bones and give the stock the body it needed.

For making the soup, I followed the recipe exactly and only had to add ~1.5 teaspoons of salt. It was the best chicken noodle soup I've ever had!

I love chicken noodle soup and I was so glad I was able to make this and get the same great taste I'm used to with relatively little salt (my 3-4 quarts of soup had about the same amount of salt as 3.5 cups of the standard canned variety.

I took the other reviewer's advice and blended in the stock veggies- it really makes the stock even better. I'd give it 5 stars, but if someone read the recipe without reading the reviews it might turn out bland- the recipe should be updated.

First time I made chicken noodle and used this recipe. It was a good starting place but agree with other reviews about blending up vegetables. Next time I think I'd add more vegetables to the broth. It did need a lot of salt for our tastes buds.

So dissapointed in the soup! was really surprised that Tyler made this. My son is sick so I wanted to make this for him, the problem with this soup is this. Its a water base so it has zero taste unless u put a ton of salt in it. This is what I suggest. use half chicken broth and half the water.. period plain and simple. Im going to re make it this weekend!

This was the blandest tasteless soup I have ever had. I made this because of all the great reviews. I followed the recipe to a T and was very disappointed.
