BIG-BATCH CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP image

Categories     Soup/Stew     Chicken

Yield 12-14 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 medium onions, chopped
3 medium carrots, cut into ¼-inch-thick slices
One 6-to 7-pound chicken
2 quarts Chicken Broth (see recipe below) or canned low-sodium broth
1 quart cold water, or as needed
4 sprigs of fresh parsley
3 sprigs of fresh thyme or ½ teaspoon dried thyme
1 bay leaf
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups egg noodles

Steps:

  • Chop fresh parsley, for garnish Heat the oil in a large stockpot over medium heat. Add the onions, carrots, and celery and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 10 minutes. Cut the chicken into 8 pieces. If there are any pads of yellow fat in the tail area, do not remove them. Add the chicken to the pot and pour in the broth. Add enough cold water to cover the ingredients by 2 inches. Bring to a boil over high heat, skimming off the foam that rises to the surface. Add the parsley, thyme, and bay leaf. Reduce the heat to low. Simmer, uncovered, until the chicken is very tender, about 2 hours. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside until cool enough to handle. Remove and discard the parsley and thyme sprigs and bay leaf. Let stand 5 minutes and degrease the soup, reserving the fat if you are making matzo balls. Discard the chicken skin and bones and cut the meat into bite-size pieces. Add the noodles and cook until done, about 10 minutes. Stir the meat back into the soup and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve hot. The soup can be prepared up to 3 days ahead, cooled, covered, and refrigerated, or frozen for up to 3 months.
