EASIEST CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP
The majority of shortcut chicken soup recipes use rotisserie chicken. It's a convenient hack, but cooked chicken doesn't absorb flavors very well. On the other hand, sautéing ground chicken in olive oil with garlic, coriander and celery seeds (or fennel seeds and rosemary, or herbes de Provence) creates a deeply complex base. Add the vegetables, then the stock and the noodles for a complete meal that cooks in 30 minutes. You can use egg noodles, cavatelli or alphabet noodles, but you may want to adjust the amount of stock to taste, since they'll each absorb a different amount of liquid.

Steps:
- In a large pot, heat 3 tablespoons oil over medium-high. Add the chicken, season generously with salt and pepper, and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until starting to crumble, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic, coriander and celery seeds (if using), and cook, stirring frequently, until chicken is cooked through, about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, scoop the chicken into a small lidded bowl (to retain moisture); cover and set aside.
- Add the carrot, celery, shallot, thyme and the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the pot, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, until slicked with fat, 3 minutes. Add the stock (7 cups for a stew-like soup or up to 8 cups for a brothy soup) and bring to a boil over high.
- Add noodles and cook over medium-high until al dente according to package directions. (If the noodles absorb a lot of liquid, add more broth according to taste.) Add the reserved chicken and any accumulated juices and heat until warmed, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide among bowls; top with a spoonful of crème fraîche, a fistful of torn herbs and lemon zest.

Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your soup a more complex and flavorful broth. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, garlic, leeks, parsnips, turnips, and potatoes.
- Don't overcrowd the pot. If you add too many vegetables, they won't have room to cook properly and the soup will be watery. A good rule of thumb is to use about 1 cup of vegetables per quart of broth.
- Season the soup well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, and herbs to taste. You can also add a bay leaf or two for extra flavor.
- Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and the vegetables to soften.
- Serve the soup with your favorite toppings. Common options include shredded chicken, noodles, rice, and herbs like parsley or cilantro.
