Chicken noodle soup is undeniably comfort food for many people (especially when they're not feeling well) and this version gets a healthful update. Whole-wheat egg noodles add fiber and nutrients and reduced-sodium chicken broth cuts the sodium. By all means use homemade chicken broth if you have it.

This was excellent. Ginger really pairs nicely with chicken. I will start adding ginger to my chicken noodle soup every time I make it. Read More

This soup is very good but without the salt of other soups you really need to squish up the garlic and ginger and add the full amount of dill if it is going to have flavor. Also I added more than the 4oz recommended of noodles and that did not help things any. I would stick with the 4oz. It was solidly good but I did add some additional salt for flavor which alters the recipe in an unhealthy fashion and I think is kind of against the whole idea. Read More
