  1. This is a great recipe. However, with dry noodles, and the thick frozen egg noodles I have experienced problems.
    I have found fresh “Fettuccine” to be the perfect noodle for soup. Not thick and doughy like egg noodles, not slimy and mushy like dry noodles.
    I am surprised continually, that this is not mentioned in soup recipes.

    1. I’ve never had an issue with slimy mushy dry egg noodles.That sounds as if they were cooked too long or of poor quality. Fresh fettuccine would be a great addition to any soup, if that’s your preference.
