This was definitely a 5-star soup recipe at our house and probably the best chicken noodle soup I've ever made! I think the chicken bouillon adds a depth of flavor to the chicken broth and takes it over the top. I had powdered boullion (as opposed to cubes) so just sprinkled some in and tasted till it was just right. That was the only change from the original recipe. The kluski noodles are a definite must if you can find them at your local grocery store. Thanks Brian for a great recipe my whole family loved.
