Ingredients
- 1whole organic chickenorganic has the best flavor
- 36cups water
- 2teaspoons saltplus more if needed
- 1teaspoon black pepper
- 1cup peeled and diced carrots
- 1cup diced celeryorganic
- 1cup diced onion
- 2 bay leaves
- 1/2pound extra wide egg noodlesAlberto’s brand if available
- 1/2cup parsley, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Clean the inside of the chicken thoroughly, removing any blood, veins, and debris.
- Boil the chicken, salt, pepper, and water in a large pot for 1 hour.
- Turn off the heat and remove the chicken from the water, setting it aside on a cutting board to cool until you can cut meat from the bones. Chop the meat into 1/2-inch cubes. Transfer the chicken cubes back into the pot, returning the heat to medium-high.
- Add the carrots, celery, onions, and bay leaves to the broth. Simmer 15 to 20 minutes or until you can pierce the carrots with a fork.
- If you are using long egg noodles, break them in half and immerse the noodles into soup. Continue to simmer for 25 to 30 minutes or until the noodles are soft.
- Stir in the parsley and simmer 5 minutes. Remove the pot from heat. Adjust the flavoring by layering in the salt until a full-bodied flavor is achieved. Remove the bay leaves before serving.
Recipe Notes
Tips for Making Chicken Noodle Soup
- The character and flavor of this soup largely depend on adjusting the salt until the flavor comes through, being careful not to add too much or too little. A wonderful full bodied flavor will be achieved when just the right amount of salt is added.
- Organic chicken has more flavor and will create a much better soup.
- The most important step in this recipe is to clean the chicken inside and out using cold water. This will prevent any unpleasant cavity particles found inside the chicken from becoming part of your soup. Be sure to clean and sanitize your sink and workspace once the chicken is placed inside of the pot to prevent contamination from the raw chicken.
- I use Alberto’s extra wide egg noodles. If noodles are too long, break them in half before placing into soup.
- If you omit the noodles, it makes a delicious gluten-free chicken vegetable soup.
