Chicken and Noodles is one of my kids' favorites and they've proclaimed this the BEST. The Reames noodles just make the dish. I did sub some chicken broth for the water (still used the soup base too) and threw in some instant potato flakes at the end to thicken it. Will definitely make this again and again. Thanks for posting!

This had a great comfort food flavor. I found the recipe to be a bit too watery, so the 2nd time I made it I reduced the recipe to 8 cups of water. I also melted the butter in the bottom of the pan and added 4T of flour to create a rue. I added the other ingredients after the thin paste formed. I also found I needed to cook the noodles 20-30 minutes instead of 10 minutes as the recipe calls. Family favorite, I make this again and again.

This has become a fave in our house! My little ones ask for it often. The only difference is that I cook mine in my crock pot. I use chicken that I have poatched and tken off the bone and add it to everything else then bout 45 mins to an hour before dinner I drop in the noodles ( I use a bg and half) and we are ready for a hot and yummy dinner served with a tossed salad and dinner rolls. Can't wait to have this again soon!

I made this Stacky when you originally posted on the thread. glad you finally got it so I can review it! This is a great recipe, very much like the orginal Bob Evans, esp with the thick noodles. It is a great soup with the addition of a little more water and an even better noodle dish with it thickened slightly. Thanx for the post, this is one that will be made lots this winter!!

At first I thought this was close to another recipe I had posted,difference being veggies and butter, but Boy it was great. I did put more butter and had our girl and her husband stop in and they loved it too.. This will be made over and over. Thank you for a awesome recipe. Comfort food at it's best.. faith58

Very quick and easy to make, and it makes a lot! It was the perfect recipe to use up a bunch of cooked and frozen chicken breasts I had in the freezer and very economical. The noodles were good, dipping French bread in the sauce-soup was even better! Next time I would also either cut down on liquid or thicken it up a bit.

This was pretty darn good - but very salty! I ended up adding about 4-5 more cups of water to off set the salt - and I only put in about 3/4 of the salt that the recipe called for. It could have been that we can only get salted butter out here...I also only put 1/4 cup of the butter - otherwise - Yummy!

Really good flavor; I used the water I cooked the chicken in, added 1 can chicken broth and chicken bouillon as per recipe. Loved the crock pot idea as posted by Sarah and Little Ones, but failed to note she added noodles 45 min before serving...I added mine in AM before I headed out to work...DON'T DO THIS!!! Noodles get toooo soggy! Next time I will do the crock pot, but add noodles when I get home. 45min to 1hr is just about how much time I need to unwind and get organized to eat anyway.
