I always enjoy having this soup on a colder day. Extremely easy to make. I would recommend adding more broth and water. I usually end up adding more onions, carrots and celery too. Definitely a solid recipe.

Quick, easy, and comforting. It's not the same as chicken soup made from scratch but infinitely better than the canned stuff. Also, it's a great soup to make when your family has a cold--a time when everyone wants soup but no one feels like doing any heavy-duty cooking. Leftovers are good as well, but you'll want to add a little extra broth.

This was not very flavorful. Had to add salt. I will make again but with full sodium broth.

Good, easy comfort soup

This is quite good - I've made it many times.  This time I didn't have any egg noodles so I added cheese tortelllini which was a nice change.  Also took a few suggestions from other reviewers and added peas and topped with chopped scallions.

Good, hearty soup. I used two carrots and three celery stocks, next time would probably use a bit more since I like more veggies in my soup. Tasted a little underseasoned with the low-sodium chicken broth but added a little more pepper to compensate. Tasted better the next day.

I'm already making this a second time, so we definitely enjoyed it. This time, I will add more carrots and celery and a little less pasta.

Fantastic and so easy. Kids and hubby loved. Used egg noodles and leftover roasted chicken. Great for this snowy evening. Will make again.
