Categories     Food & Cooking     Soups, Stews & Stocks     Soup Recipes

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 whole chicken (about 4 pounds), cut into 8 pieces
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
5 cups water
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced
4 garlic cloves, crushed
4 medium carrots, sliced 1/2 inch thick on the diagonal
2 celery stalks, sliced 1/4 inch thick on the diagonal
12 sprigs flat-leaf parsley, plus chopped leaves for serving
2 ounces angel-hair pasta

Steps:

  • In a stockpot, combine chicken, broth, the water, and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, skimming off foam from surface with a large spoon. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer 5 minutes, skimming frequently. Add onions, garlic, carrots, celery, and parsley. Simmer, partially covered, until chicken is cooked through, about 25 minutes.
  • Remove parsley and chicken, discarding back, neck, and parsley. Let cool, then tear meat into bite-size pieces. Skim fat.
  • Return broth to a boil and add pasta; simmer 5 minutes. Stir in 3 cups chicken (reserve remaining chicken for another use).
  • Season soup with salt and pepper. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your soup more flavor and nutrients. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, garlic, leeks, and parsnips.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables. You want them to be tender, but not mushy. Cook them until they are just starting to soften.
  • Use a good quality chicken broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup. If you don't have any homemade chicken broth, you can use a store-bought brand. Just make sure to choose one that is low in sodium.
  • Season your soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream for extra flavor.
  • Let your soup simmer for at least 30 minutes. This will help to develop the flavors and make the soup more flavorful.
  • Serve your soup with a side of bread, crackers, or rice. This will help to make it a more complete meal.

Conclusion:

Chicken noodle soup is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and flavorful chicken noodle soup that your family and friends will love.
