Provided by Patrick and Gina Neely : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces
6 cups chicken broth
1/2 bunch thyme
1 bay leaf
2 cups all-purpose flour
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • In a very large saucepan or Dutch oven, add chicken, chicken broth, thyme, and bay leaf to cover. Turn on heat to low and let simmer for 20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. *Cook's Note: You'll want to poach the chicken on a low simmer and start with cold stock so the chicken cooks evenly.
  • Once the chicken is cooked, transfer to a 13 by 9-inch casserole dish and let cool. Reserve broth and discard the thyme and bay leaf. When chicken has cooled, shred. Use your hands or a fork and make sure to get all the meat off the bone. Discard the skin and bones.
  • Add flour, salt and pepper, to taste, and baking powder to a large bowl and whisk together. In a small saucepan, bring heavy cream, butter and herbs to a low simmer then add to the dry ingredients. Stir with a rubber spatula until combined. Using your hands, form dough into dumplings.
  • Heat a large Dutch oven over medium heat and add oil. Once oil is hot, add onions, carrots, celery and garlic. Saute until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Add reserved broth to Dutch oven with vegetables and add the chicken. Bring to a low simmer. Add dumplings 1 at a time into the simmering soup. Cover pan with a lid and cook for 25 minutes. Add salt and pepper, to taste, if necessary.

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.

Cook until it reaches a pale blonde color, about 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the chicken stock, making sure there are no lumps.
