"COMFORT FOOD!!! My family has enjoyed this special soup for years. Simple and easy! It has a very creamy taste and is very nourishing! Note: Bone-in chicken makes best flavor."

I improvised quite a bit but I believe I kept to the spirit of the recipe. I had leftover rotisserie chicken, so I chopped up about 2 cups and set aside. I melted 2 T. butter in my soup pot and sautéed the vegetables until they were slightly softens seasoned with 1/2 t. each salt and pepper. I added 6 cups of low sodium chicken broth and simmered for about 20 minutes. I then followed the recipe from there, using Cream of Chicken with Herbs soup and extra-wide noodles. The seasoning was just right. We thoroughly enjoyed this soup and would definitely make this again.

I've made this soup twice and it's simply AMAZING! These are the modifications I made to make it "my own". To get extra chicken flavor I added Knolls chicken bouillon to the water when I boiled the veggies. I also doubled the celery and carrots and increased the amount of chicken to make it even more hearty. Another modification I made was to add about a tsp of crushed red pepper flakes. It didn't make it spicy, but it did lend an interesting flavor note. The real secret to this soup, though, is the cream of chicken soup and milk that comes at the end of the process. I've used cream in the past, but that's overkill. Milk is fine. The author's suggestion to not bring the water back to a boil after dumping in the noodles is a good one. You don't want the pasta turning to mush.

I added two cubes of chicken bouillon to the pot while the chicken and vegetables were simmering to add more flavor. Worked out great!
