Freezing homemade chicken noodle soup...?

So is there a way to freeze homemade chicken noodle soup with the noodles in it without having the noodles get all mushy? How do they do it when you buy canned soup?

I'm making a big crock pot of chicken noodle soup and was wondering if there was a good way to freeze it with the noodles or if I have to just freeze the soup and make the noodles when I'm ready to eat.

I have not added them to the soup yet. When I make it the original batch, I make the noodles at the end. But thought maybe I could throw them in the leftover soup to freeze them. I just don't want them to be really mushy next time.

Fresh noodles are always best, of course! but you can freeze the ones you have in the soup kettle right now if you have them in there already. It won't hurt at all.

I just ran out of the last package Clara Mom gave me!! Boo Hoo!! Now I have to figure out how to make the noodles as good as she did.

When I make the soup I never add the noodles to the pot. I serve them on the side so my family can take the amount they want. I also think that the noodles make the soup too cloudy and the noodles seem to break down and get mushy. I cook the noodles separately. I would make fresh noodles when I'm ready to serve the soup that's frozen.
