Slightly modified from The Pioneer Woman. Her recipe is here. I love her recipes. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any good sales on cut up whole chicken or even a whole chicken so I had to settle for just whole chicken breast pieces. Still good just not as much "omphf" going into the homemade broth. I followef her recipe but instead of just boiling the chicken, I added about 1/4 an onion, 2 stalks of celery, 3 carrots, and oh about 4 sprigs of fresh parsley. I let it boil for about 40 minutes, pulled the meat off the bones and put the bones back into the pot and let it simmer for about an hr. Then I strained the broth.
Everything else I followed. Except I wanted fresh homemade noodles too. I followed her recipe here. I did everything down to the T. But come time to put the noodles into the pot, they were horribly stuck together. So a warning, lay for fresh cut noodles on a baking sheet and not a bowl and go heavy on the flour. GoodNESS. So I ended up re-rolling my dough in quick little batches, and then using scissors (clean, of course) I snipped little strips right into the pot. I wasn't sure at this point how they would turn out but oh my, this was some awesome, awesome soup. Next time we have a cold, this will be made.
So essentially what you have cooked there is chicken noodle soup. The best tip I can give for enjoying such a soup - is a can opener... ︺‿︺
ReplyDeleteAww thanks! Its true such a basic soup can be enjoyed in two minutes from a can. Like many other basics these days. However, there is no replacing the satisfaction of making things from scratch, nor watching your family enjoy your hard work. And one of the best things, I'd say is knowing exactly what's in my meal and knowing I'm giving them freshly prepared food and not something loaded with preservatives.
