Kittencal's Chicken Noodle Soup

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"I make this soup using my recipe#118258 but since everyone might not have time or want to make homemade stock I have listed amounts for canned soup, you have the choice of using either, *please* do not omit the fresh ginger, it really brings out so much extra flavour in the soup, if you are using canned broth make certain to use a good-quality broth, the success of the soup will depend on it --- cooked rice may be used in place of the egg noodles, the veggie amounts may be adjusted to taste, and chicken bouillon is only optional, if you are using canned chicken broth you might want to add in for extra flavor ;-)"

Delicious! I made your homemade egg noodles for the soup. I subbed butter for oil and used Better Than Bullion approx. 3 Tbsp and 1 c less water. I also left out the chicken. It was for my girlfriend's sore throat. But we both really enjoyed it. Will definitely make again. Thanks for sharing!
