I save my chicken carcasses for soup and freeze them, so I used 2 for this recipe instead of the whole chicken called for in the recipe. Skipped the turnip because I didn't have any and reduced the salt. The end result was a very homey hearty soup. The tarragon and oregano are not typically herbs I use for chicken noodle soup, but they were a nice change of pace and added great subtle flavor. Thank you Ciindy for sharing the recipe.
