Hearty Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup

Submitted by Texaspollock

"This is one of the first recipes that I made off the top of my head when I was learning to cook as a newlywed 25 years ago. I've tweaked it a bit since then and now it's a family favorite. I have found that you can buy a ready cooked rotisserie chicken to save time or use leftover chicken. I use a food processor to make chopping the veggies much easier."

Made this as given, using a store-bought roasted chicken (I'm not usually big on roasting an entire chicken!) & it was so easy to prepare, with the 2 of us having a great tasting soup for several days! The only change I might make in the future is to substitute some of my always-on-hand homemade chicken stock for the water & the cubes! Many thanks for sharing this satisfying recipe!
