Quick, Hearty Chicken Noodle Soup

by:
Serves: Makes 3½ to 4 quarts serving about 8
Ingredients
  • 2 quarts chicken broth plus 1 quart water
  • 1 store-bought roast chicken (preferably organic) meat picked from bones and pulled into bite-size pieces, bones and skin reserved separately
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 large onions (2 cups), cut into medium dice
  • 2 large carrots, peeled and cut into round
  • or half rounds, depending on size
  • 2 large celery stalks, sliced ¼-inch thick
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
  • 3 cups egg noodles (I used regular pasta!)
  • 1 cup (5 ounces) frozen green peas
  • ½ cup chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt and ground black pepper
Instructions
  1. While broth and water come to a simmer over medium-high heat in a large soup kettle, separate chicken meat from bones and skin and reserve. Add bones and skin to the simmering broth. Reduce heat to low, partially cover, and simmer until bones release their flavor, 20 to 30 minutes. Strain; reserve broth and discard bones and skin.
  2. Return kettle to burner set on medium-high. Add oil, then onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté until soft, 8 to 10 minutes. Add thyme, chicken, and broth and bring to a simmer.
  3. Add noodles; simmer until soup ingredients are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in peas and parsley and adjust seasoning, including salt and pepper to taste. Serve.

 

 

About Maggy Keet

As a New Yorker, I take full advantage of the ever evolving, always exciting restaurant scene. But most days, my “happy place” is found in my tiny Manhattan kitchen where I cook two meals a day. My perfect night is spent listening to NPR, while drinking a glass of wine, and creating a simple, (most often) vegetarian supper which I enjoy with my husband, Andy. In addition to blogging, writing, and planning events, I work full time as a Development Fundraiser.

    Yum. This will be served steaming hot in my soup mugs this weekend here in Raleigh. Nothing gives you the comforting feeling of home & love like chicken noodle soup. It’s just like a big hug & better than a dose of medicine.

    I read one on the Foodbuzz contest that added some ginger and lemon in. Sounds like if I combine yours and hers I’ve got about the perfect chicken noodle soup 🙂 Kate @kateiscooking.blogspot.com
