Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

9 cups canned low-salt chicken broth
1 3-pound cut-up chicken; neck, gizzard and heart reserved
3 tablespoons butter
2 cups chopped onions
1 cup diced peeled carrots
3/4 cup diced celery
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon crumbled saffron threads
2 ounces dried wide egg noodles
1 cup frozen corn kernels
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
2 tablespoons minced celery leaves

Steps:

  • Combine broth, chicken pieces, neck, gizzard and heart in large pot. Bring to boil. Reduce heat; cover partially and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes. Using tongs, remove chicken pieces and giblets from broth. Cool slightly. Remove skin from breasts and leg-thigh pieces. Cut enough chicken meat to measure 1 cup. Reserve remaining cooked chicken for another use. Strain broth into large bowl. Chill broth until fat solidifies on surface, about 6 hours. (Broth can be made 2 days ahead. Keep chilled.) Scrape fat from surface of broth and discard.
  • Melt butter in heavy large pot over medium-low heat. Add onions, carrots, celery, garlic, and thyme. Cover; cook until vegetables soften, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Add broth and bring to boil. Reduce heat; simmer until vegetables are almost tender, about 15 minutes. Add saffron. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill. Bring to boil before continuing.) Add noodles; simmer 5 minutes. Add 1 cup chicken and corn; simmer until noodles are tender, about 5 minutes. Add parsley and celery. Season with salt and pepper.

This soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I followed the recipe exactly, but the soup turned out bland. I think I would have liked it more if I had added more salt and pepper.

I've made this soup several times now and it's always a winner. It's so easy to make and it's always delicious. I love that I can use leftover chicken or rotisserie chicken to make it.

This soup was a hit with my family! The saffron added a beautiful color and a subtle, yet distinct flavor. The chicken, corn, and noodles were all cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this soup again.
