Number Of Ingredients 11

1 3 to 3 1/2 pound chicken, rinsed in cold water and trussed and with extra string left looped on the end for easier retrieval of the cooked chicken
6 quarts water
3 carrots, peeled and cut into a large dice
4 celery ribs, washed and diced
2 leeks, split, carefully washed and diced
1 tablespoon each salt and cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons dried thyme
2 bay leaves
3 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
2 cups cooked broad egg noodles
3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill

Steps:

  • Rinse the chicken under cold water truss the legs but leave a loop of additional string to help remove the cooked chicken form the pot by giving you a loop-handle to grab with tongs. Put the chicken in a large stock pot with the cold water and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce to a strong simmer, but not a rolling boil, and continue to cook for 20 minutes, carefully skimming off fat and residue. Add the vegetables, salt, pepper and herb sachet to the pot and continue to cook for an additional 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the heat and cool the soup slightly before removing the chicken with the help of the looped string. Discard the cheesecloth sachet and skim any fat that has risen to the surface. Cook the egg noodles according to the package directions. Strip the skin off the chicken and discard the skin. Pull the chicken meat from the bones, being careful to remove all the bones from the meat, add the boneless meat back to the soup pot and discard the bones. Bring the soup with the meat added back to the boil, simmer for 10 minutes before adding the noodles and chopped dill. Cook 2-3 minutes before serving in bowls with some additional dill as a garnish. Refrigerate promptly any unused portions. If only part of the soup will be served at one seating, divide the cooked soup into batches before adding the noodles and dill to prevent the noodles form being overcooked when the remaining portions are reheated.

This is a variation of a recipe I found on here. So yummy. True Comfort food. I have also made this using homemade noodles and it turns out fantastic. Also, if you have left overs, refrigerate them and the next day the broth thickens to a sort of gravy making it even better imo.

Time 1h25m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

96 ounces chicken broth
4 carrots, chopped
4 stalks celery, chopped
2 -3 tablespoons minced garlic
1 bay leaf
2 (16 ounce) bags frozen noodles (I use Reames from the freezer section if I don't make my own)
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon thyme
1/4 teaspoon black pepper (use less if you want)
1/4 teaspoon all purpose seasoning
1/4 teaspoon seasoning salt (aka Season All)
2 sprigs fresh parsley, chopped
3 whole chicken breasts, bone and skin removed, cooked and chopped

Steps:

  • To cook the chicken breast, wrap each breast tightly in foil and bake on cookie sheet until no longer pink. No water or seasonings needed, the foil keeps the chicken's natural juices "trapped" so it cooks moist and tender. Chop into pieces of whatever size you desire.
  • In large stockpot, add broth and start cooking on high heat. Chop veggies to whatever size of pieces you desire. I keep mine on the larger size. Add to broth.
  • Add all seasonings to broth, including bay leaf, cover and bring to a rolling boil.
  • When boiling, add noodles and chicken to broth, lower heat to med and bring back to a boil, uncovered.
  • Boil for approx 25 min or until noodles are al dente.
  • Lower heat to get a good simmer. Simmer 15-20 min uncovered. Give a good stir, remove bay leaf and serve.
  • Optional Additions:.
  • 1/4 tsp celery seed.
  • omit onion powder and instead add 1/4c chopped onion.
  • Note: If you don't have fresh parsley you can use 1T dried parsley instead.
  • Prep time is an estimate and does not include cooking time for the chicken breasts.

HOMESTYLE CHICKEN SOUP



HOMESTYLE CHICKEN SOUP image

Categories     Soup/Stew     Chicken     Dinner     Boil

Yield 10 Bowls

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 Large White Onion
6 Large Carrots
10 Celery Stalks
3lbs Fresh Chicken Breast
1 Small Head of Savoy Cabbage (opt)
64oz Chicken Broth
1 Small Bay Leaf
Parika (to taste)
Salt (to taste)
Pepper (to taste)
Pat of butter
Small drizzle of EVOO or Vegetable Oil

Steps:

  • Peel and chop onion in to small pieces. Peel and chop carrots in to medium pieces. Rinse and chop celery in to small pieces. In a large pot at medium heat on the stove top put your pat of butter in the pot to melt and your EVOO drizzle as well (this allows the butter to reach higher tempatures without burning). Once heated combine carrots, onions, and celery into pot and let cook at medium. Stir often. While the veggies are cooking pull out your fresh chicken and cut the chicken breast long ways into strips so they can then be cut across for hearty chunks. Once chicken is cut up place into pot with veggies for a quick cook before adding the broth. Add paprika, the bay leaf, salt and pepper (to taste) on the chicken in the pot. Then stir into veggies. Add 64oz of broth once chicken pieces have almost completely cooked on the outside. Turn heat up to high and bring soup to a boil. While waiting for the soup to boil rinse your head of Savoy Cabbage (opt) and cut up into 1/2 dollar sized peices leaving out all stems! Set aside. Now that the pot is boiling with yummy goodness turn the heat down to between medium and low and add the cabbage. Let simmer for a minimum of 1 hour. Remember to stir ever so often. (you can simmer for as long as you want it will only let the flavors meld even better together) Once your hour is up stir the pot and remove the bay leaf from the mixture and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: For a richer flavor, use a whole chicken or chicken thighs instead of breasts.
  • Roast the chicken bones: Roasting the chicken bones before adding them to the soup gives them a deeper flavor.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: The more vegetables you add to your soup, the more nutritious and flavorful it will be.
  • Season the soup well: Don't be afraid to add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.
  • Let the soup simmer: The longer you simmer the soup, the more time the flavors will meld together.
  • Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: A dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of chopped parsley, or a few oyster crackers can really take your soup to the next level.

Conclusion:

Homestyle chicken soup is a delicious, comforting, and healthy meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's the perfect soup for a cold winter day or a quick and easy weeknight dinner. With a few simple tips, you can make a homestyle chicken soup that your family and friends will love.
