Time 3h30m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 onion, quartered
2 celery ribs
2 carrots
4 garlic cloves
1 bay leaf
2 lbs skinless chicken pieces, skin and visible fat removed
10 -12 cups cold water
10 cups chicken broth
2 potatoes, quartered and sliced
2 carrots, sliced
1 stalk celery, sliced
1 small onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups chicken, that you've pulled from the bones
2 tablespoons chicken bouillon, liquid Bovril
1 1/2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
1 1/2 cups thin egg noodles

Steps:

  • In a large dutch oven or stock pot, add onion, celery, carrots, garlic and bay leaf. Place chicken on top, and add water. (If your pot will only hold 10 cups of water at first, the remaining water can be added later, as some of it will evaporate.) Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 1-1/2 hours.
  • Using a slotted spoon, remove chicken to a plate to cool. Strain the broth, and discard the vegetables.
  • At this point, the broth may be cooled and frozen for later use, or you may continue on with the recipe. This is an excellent time to remove any remaining fat from the broth.
  • Remove the meat from the bones, cut and set aside.
  • Return the broth to a clean pot. Bring to a boil and add the potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, salt and pepper. Cover and simmer for 1/2 hour.
  • Add the chicken, bouillon, frozen vegetables, and noodles. Simmer for 20 minutes.

OLD FASHIONED CHICKEN SOUP

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
3 carrots, sliced
2 stalks celery, sliced
6 cups water
1 chicken, quartered
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1 cup small egg noodles
Salt
Pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oil in large heavy pot. Cook onion and celery until translucent. Season chicken pieces liberally with salt and pepper. Place chicken skin side down in pot and brown, about 5 minutes. Add carrots and cover with water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1 hour. Remove chicken from soup and let cool. Remove meat from bones and shred, discard skin. Return meat to pot and stir in parsley and noodles. Cook for another 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use a whole chicken: This will give your soup a richer flavor. You can also use chicken breasts or thighs, but you may need to add some extra bones or chicken bouillon to the soup to give it more flavor.
  • Roast the chicken before adding it to the soup: This will give the soup a deeper, more complex flavor. You can roast the chicken in a roasting pan or on a sheet pan. Just make sure to season it with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices before roasting.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will give your soup a more flavorful and nutritious broth. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, leeks, and parsnips. You can also add other vegetables, such as potatoes, green beans, or corn.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: You want them to be tender, but not mushy. Aim to cook them for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are just tender.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and any other desired spices to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream before serving.

Conclusion:

Old-fashioned chicken soup is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and delicious. It's the perfect soup to enjoy on a cold winter day or when you're feeling under the weather.
