What a great recipe! I can even get my daughter to eat some vegetables if I chop them up small enough in this recipe. Thank you!

This recipe was my second attempt at chicken soup. The first recipe I tried sucked! I found this a year ago and omg. I love it. I’ve made it so many times! This makes enough for dinner for the work week and then I have to find people to give the rest to. Haha. But what do you suggest to freeze it? I’m not one to freeze left overs. But I figure it may be good to know. Thanks so much for sharing this!

Hi!
What do you mean by “celery, stems removed”? The ribs/strings?
Thanks!

How does this hold up for reheating? I have seen several mentions of “lunch” or “dinner” for the week. I would love to make a pot of this, perhaps big enough to eat for two people, several times during the week. How do you recommend storing it, reheating it, to get the best results? My stew is of course better on days 2 and 3, and then usually disappears quickly. I haven’t yet tried a pot of chicken noodle soup big enough to have leftovers, which is my main goal this week.

I saw this recipe and had to get the ingredients! Chicken and stars soup was my favorite growing up but of course, homemade anything is way better.
I couldn’t find the stars pasta in a couple stores I shop but Amazon had them. I bought a couple bags and will be making this exact recipe this week.
I will comment on how good it was!

This has come in handy for my neighbors who are getting Covid this month. An easy recipe to pass on to those too sick to do it themselves. Thanks.
