It would be much easier
Don J - October 29, 2007 02:00:02 PM PSTto just put everything you're going to use into the pot at first, except the noodles. Simmer it at least 2 hours, covered, then strain everythig out, leaving the broth. Keep cooking the broth while you are de-boning the chicken, reducing the broth to about 2 quarts. Then put the noodles and de-boned chicken into the broth and cook until noodles are done. This will have all the flavor of the original recipe with half the trouble.

This was great!
see_beyond_your_imagination - December 10, 2007 09:34:58 PM PSTThis was my first time making chicken noodle soup and it was a success. The main problem I had was the chicken skin and bones, but the time and effort put in was well worth it.
