  • Excellent easy recipe. Thanks

  • This was a good, very basic chicken soup. It was really easy to make, especially since I had leftover chicken. The garlic gives the soup a great flavor.

  • This soup really hit the spot on a cold chicago day, my family really enjoyed it and it was so easy to do

  • I loved this soup it an creative way of using up left overs especially good on a winters day. Kat

  • Great way to use up leftover chicken. Added spaeztle noodles. Quick and easy to prepare. Kids ate it right up. Used minced garlic from a jar, chicken base from Sams Club and frozen diced onion. Also added a bit of parsley and thyme.

  • Really simple, yet really great I actually used 4 chicken breasts instead of the legs that you reccomended, with 4 bouillon cubes, and it worked out a treat Thanks for sharing

  • Ive love homemade harty soups this was very delicious and easy to make. Ive made it twice due to the demand. My family and I thank you.

  • Very Good

  • Loved loved loved it. I ended up using a whole chicken and uping the ingredents for my large family. I added shell noddles instead of the egg noodles and added a little to the cooking time to conpensate. It is a favorite at my table.

  • A really great soup, but just a tad bland. I had to toss in some chicken broth and some Mrs. Dash seasoning to get the taste I was looking for.Also, try using homemade noodles instead of packaged. Delicious

  • This is a very good soup to use leftovers in.

  • I am a very new and fearful cook. I usually seem to mess up the most basic recipe. But my husband was very sick today and so I wanted to make him chicken soup. This soup turned out great Very little preparation and not too many ingredients. It is probably not as tasty as other more complex recipes, but it was perfect for my husband and my taste. I will definitely try this again.

  • Good soup and very easy to prepare. I used a pack of chicken thighs and about half as many noodles. Will make this again

  • This recipe was great I have made it at least 6 times and every time I make it, my family and guests love it Very simple and tastes great

  • We really enjoyed this soup It didnt take very long to make and was quite easy to do. THanks

  • 4 stars for ease, but I would be sure to add extra seasoning. It was a little bland. I used chicken broth instead of bouillon, and I also sauteed the garlic with the chicken. I added in the noodles (used flat egg noodles) after they had already been cooked al dente so that they wouldnt soak up the broth as much.

  • Very delicious. I make this often and my family cant get enough of it. However, to feed a family of four I have to triple the amount of chicken and water. I also substitute the noodles for 2 cups of rice. Still fantastic, thanks for this recipe.

  • What an easy but hearty hot soup on a cold day for my family. I followed the recipe exactly but added the broader egg noodles instead of the thin ones. Ill make it again and again.

  • Perfect and easy to make, all in one pot. Didnt have skinless chicken, so I cooked it with the skin, then removed as I was pulling the meat. Added a lot of flavor.

  • I added tri colored carrots spiced it up
