A few tips when making homemade chicken noodle soup. I always add two cups of V8 tomato juice (or other store brand) & the powdered chicken stock you can find in a jar at local grocery stores. It's more like a paste, use about 3 heaping tbs. to a big pot of soup.

Oh, and cabbage, cut up about a 1/4th head of cabbage and add to the soup. The second day all these flavors blend & oh my, my grandkids love it!

And of course, your celery, carrots & onions.

My mom was a fabulous cook, but never had a recipe for anything, I've spent years trying to duplicate the flavors & feel I am about 100% with the chicken soup, FINALLY!!

My Mom got me an electric pressure cooker. Nothing compares to broth made in the pressure cooker. Before I could never get enough flavor no matter how much I simmered.
