CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP

Chicken Noodle Soup

What You’ll Need: 

4-6 Chicken Thighs

6 Cups of Chicken Broth (I use Swanson’s Low Sodium)

1/8 tsp. Poultry Seasoning

1-2 Cloves garlic – minced

1 large sliced onion

1 Cup carrots (sliced or chopped)

½ Cup Celery (sliced or chopped)

Parsley

Directions:

  • Place chicken broth in a large stock pot
  • Add Chicken pieces (See “Note” below)
  • Add onion and poultry seasoning
  • Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour skimming the foam off the top as it simmers
  • After an hour (or when chicken pieces are cooked through) remove chicken to a dish
  • Strain broth into another pot
  • Remove chicken from bone and return chicken pieces to the broth (you can let the chicken cool so you can handle it)
  • Add cut up veggies to the pot
  • Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer an additional hour
  • Serve with noodles of your choice

NOTE:  I don’t care what anyone says about how chicken is processed these days.  Bone-in, skin on chicken is still “dirty.”  When using bone-in, skin on chicken I always soak the chicken for no less than 4 hours and usually overnight in cold water to cover the pieces, 5 garlic cloves chopped, a large onion sliced and about a ¼ cup of salt (I just pour but it’s a lot).  I place it in the refrigerator and cannot believe how dirty the water is when I remove the pieces and rinse them off.
