Provided by Ali

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small white onion, peeled and diced
2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
2 stalks celery, ends trimmed and diced
4 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
8 cups (64 ounces) good-quality chicken stock
3 sprigs fresh rosemary*
3 sprigs fresh thyme*
1 sprig fresh sage*
6 ounces wide egg noodles
2 cups shredded cooked chicken
salt and pepper
1/2 cup loosely-packed chopped fresh parsley
1/3 cup loosely-packed chopped (or julienned) fresh basil

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add carrots and celery and sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the carrots are softened a bit, stirring occasionally. Add garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant, stirring occasionally. Add chicken stock, rosemary, thyme and sage, and gently stir until combined. Continue cooking until the soup reaches a simmer.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low, and stir in the egg noodles and chicken. Continue cooking for 8-10 minutes or until the egg noodles are al dente. (The longer they cook, the more broth they will soak up. Feel free to add more chicken stock if needed.)
  • Remove and discard the rosemary, thyme, and sage sprigs (no worries if some of the leaves have dropped off). Taste the soup, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve warm, garnished with extra black pepper, fresh parsley and fresh basil.

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tbsp olive oil (extra virgin)
2 cups carrots, diced (or 1 large carrot)
1.5 cups celery, diced (or 3 stalks)
1.5 cups yellow onion, diced (or 1 small onion)
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp kosher salt (or more to taste)
1/2 tsp cracked black pepper (or more to taste)
1 sprig fresh rosemary
1 sprig fresh sage
5 sprigs fresh thyme
2 bay leaves
1/4 tsp ground turmeric
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp paprika
8 cups Homemade Chicken Bone Broth or Broth (low-sodium store-bought is fine)
1 cup dried ditalini pasta (sub orzo if you can't find it)
2 cups cooked, chopped chicken (I use rotisserie)
2 tbsp lemon juice (or 1/2 lemon)

Steps:

  • Heat a large pot or dutch oven over medium heat with the olive oil. When the oil is shimmering, add the carrots, celery, onion, garlic, kosher salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Add in the rosemary, sage, thyme, bay leaves, ground turmeric, ground ginger, and paprika. Continue to cook, stirring, for 2 more minutes.
  • Pour in the broth, increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil.
  • When the soup reaches a boil, reduce to a simmer and add in the ditalini pasta and chopped chicken. Stir to combine and let cook, simmering uncovered and stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente, about 15 minutes.
  • Using tongs, remove the bay leaves and herb sprigs (it's okay if some of the leaves fell off into the soup). Stir in the lemon juice. Taste the soup and adjust seasonings, to taste. Serve and enjoy!
