Very tasty soup. I used the 7 cups of broth but found that I would have to add more. When I went to eat it the next day, I had to add water otherwise it was just a chunky chicken dinner with noodles. Otherwise very good. Will make this again!

I have made this soup so many times it's not even funny. Don't add the peas but use every thing else substituting water for chicken broth. Easy to make and far better than any canned soup. Love this recipe. Its a keeper.
