Questions & Replies

  1. Way too much dill
     
  2. Is the chick cooked already? I am assuming it is...

Reviews

  1. I just love 30 Minute Meals with Rachael Ray even though in my kitchen it's 60 minute meals (to quote my mother). Sauteing all the vegetables before adding the stock made them so sweet and tasty! I used a tablespoon of dried dill which I added with the noodles rather than the fresh.
     
  2. Rachel Ray strikes again! I don't get to watch her show as much as I would like and I didn't catch it the day she made this. We all had colds and I was looking for a good Chicken Soup to soothe the soul. This definately did the trick! This soup is EXCELLENT! It's quick, easy, tastes homemade, has a wonderful combination of flavors and fills the house with pleasant aromas. The only thing I will do differently next time is DOUBLE the recipe. This will be made again and again in our house. Thanks for a keeper Terry!
     
  3. This soup is amazing, and I was skeptical because its so fast! I did use a rotisserie chicken, and once I took the meat off, also put the bone in part in there as well to simmer for 30-45 min. Then I removed it. I used canned chicken broth because I didn't have any home made stock & a couple of those knorr concentrated chicken base thingies. I love a thicker noodle and used klutsky noodles. Next time will definitely double the batch, what a wonderful fast winter meal !
     
  4. Hearty! It was very easy and a nice chicken stew. I pressure cooked my own chicken and used the chicken and broth fresh but followed directions on everything else. I like sauteing the vegetables first - I think it enhanced the flavors. Really a very good recipe. Thanks!
     
  5. Assuming you followed Rachel Ray's recipie exactly, this is WONDERFUL! So easy and tastes like it took all day! Freezes well. Highly recommended. Use the parsnip even if you normally wouldn't. All the flavors meld so well. (1/3/2004 Okay, I forgot what a parsnip looked like and used a turnip. Still good!)

Tweaks

  1. I didn't have any fresh herbs and was out of dried dill, so I used dried parsley and thyme instead. Great!
     
  2. This chicken noodle soup is soooo good and so easy to make. Instead of using the chicken tenders I bought a roasted chicken at the deli. It was actually a little cheaper for me! I've never used parsnips before, so I was a little worried about that, but they were actually really good! I will use this recipe all the time now!
     
  3. What a great, quick soup! A few alterations didn't lessen how good it was: no parsnip, canned chicken breast, dried dill and orzo pasta instead of egg noodles. A big hit at our house that took about 40 minutes to prepare (how does she DO that in 1/2 hr>?!?!?!?!) and definitely a recipe to be repeated....
