CHICKENLESS NOODLE SOUP



Chickenless Noodle Soup image

My husband had a cold recently, and craved that old-timey chicken noodle soup--however, we recently decided we're not chicken-eaters anymore. So I experimented, and came up with this, which borrows from my Grandfather's Best Ever Chicken Noodle Soup, but with a vegetarian spin. My DH and DD now request it all the time. It is definitely time-consuming to make pasta from scratch, but the dill noodles are SO delicious. (I would love to do a vegan version of this, but still haven't found a good recipe for vegan noodles. If you have one you would recommend, I would love to hear from you!) Cooking time does not include time to soak beans.

Provided by Serah B.

Categories     Beans

Time 1h55m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed (or 1/2 Tbsp fresh)
1 egg
1/8 cup water
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
8 cups vegetable broth
1 lb dried great northern beans, soaked overnight
1 small onion, diced
4 carrots, chopped into coins
2 stalks celery, chopped with leaves
2 teaspoons poultry seasoning (try Salt Free Poultry Seasoning)
1 -2 bay leaf

Steps:

  • To make noodles: Mix flour, salt and dill in medium bowl. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture.
  • In small bowl, mix egg, water and oil. Pour into well in flour mixture, and mix thoroughly. If dough is too dry/crumbly, add a few drops of water. If dough is too sticky, add a bit of flour.
  • Gather dough into ball. Knead on lightly floured surface about 5 minuted until smooth and elastic.
  • Divide dough in half. Keeping remaining dough covered, roll one half at a time into a paper-thin rectangle on a generously floured surface. Loosely fold rectangle into thirds. Cut into 1/4 inch pasta strips with a sharp knife. Unfold strips and lay out to dry (I usually hang mine over the backs of my kitchen chairs). Let stand 30 minutes until dry. (If you roll the pasta thick, it will take longer to dry).
  • While pasta dries, begin soup. In a large pot, add vegetable broth, poultry seasoning, bay leaf, beans, onion, carrots, and celery.
  • Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until beans and veggies are tender and flavors are well-blended, about 30-40 minutes.
  • Add dill pasta. Simmer 5-10 minutes until pasta is tender.
  • Enjoy!
  • Can be frozen; reheats well.

EASIEST CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP



Easiest Chicken Noodle Soup image

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.

Categories     lunch, weekday, soups and stews, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound ground chicken
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon celery seeds (optional)
1 large carrot, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 celery stalks, halved lengthwise, then sliced 1/2-inch thick
1 large shallot, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves)
7 to 8 cups chicken stock, plus more as needed
8 ounces dried egg noodles, cavatelli or other small shaped pasta
Crème fraîche, chopped fresh parsley and dill, and lemon zest, for garnish

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.
