Skim remaining fat from the surface of the soup. Return meat to pot and add noodles. Add water if necessary. Simmer until noodles are fully cooked, about 25 minutes.

    My alterations: Used crockpot (low for 6 hours, removed chicken, cut up, put it back in and cooked 1 hour on high). Added red fingerling potatoes. Lastly used whole onion, added the spices right into the broth (removing bay leaves before serving), and put in 1 can cream of chicken. Great! - 2/26/11

    Okay, needed much more salt/ seasoning. I don't care for salt but it was very bland. - 3/28/10
