BEST EVER CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP



Best Ever Chicken Noodle Soup image

I've played with chicken soup recipes for years, and when I made it last week I paid particular attention to measurements so I could share this here. Keep in mind that seasonings, meat and noodle content are all adjustable according to personal taste.

Categories     Chicken

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 chicken, cut into parts
1 medium carrot, coarsely grated
1 teaspoon dried celery flakes
1/2 teaspoon cavender greek seasoning (or to taste)
3 chicken bouillon cubes
1 lb wide egg noodles
4 cups water (or more)

Steps:

  • Place the chicken in a large stock pot, cover with water and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat and simmer about 30 to 45 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
  • Skim impurities from the broth as needed.
  • Remove chicken parts from liquid and set aside to cool.
  • When cool enough to handle, remove the skin and bones.
  • Pull meat apart.
  • (At this point you can use whatever meat you like. I use the legs, thighs and wings in the soup and save the breast meat for other uses; but you need to simmer the whole chicken to get enough flavor in the broth).
  • Add the carrot, celery flakes, greek seasonings, chicken bouillon and 4 cups water to the broth.
  • Simmer for about 10 minutes.
  • Adjust seasonings to taste, add more water if you think you need it to cook the noodles.
  • Add the chicken.
  • Bring the broth to a boil and add the noodles (more or less depending on taste).
  • Simmer rapidly until noodles are cooked through, about 7- 10 minutes.
  • Serve hot.
  • (Note: Leftovers are good, but the noodles absorb the liquid so you may have to add more broth).
