Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

9 cups canned low-salt chicken broth
1 3-pound cut-up chicken; neck, gizzard and heart reserved
3 tablespoons butter
2 cups chopped onions
1 cup diced peeled carrots
3/4 cup diced celery
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon crumbled saffron threads
2 ounces dried wide egg noodles
1 cup frozen corn kernels
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
2 tablespoons minced celery leaves

Steps:

  • Combine broth, chicken pieces, neck, gizzard and heart in large pot. Bring to boil. Reduce heat; cover partially and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes. Using tongs, remove chicken pieces and giblets from broth. Cool slightly. Remove skin from breasts and leg-thigh pieces. Cut enough chicken meat to measure 1 cup. Reserve remaining cooked chicken for another use. Strain broth into large bowl. Chill broth until fat solidifies on surface, about 6 hours. (Broth can be made 2 days ahead. Keep chilled.) Scrape fat from surface of broth and discard.
  • Melt butter in heavy large pot over medium-low heat. Add onions, carrots, celery, garlic, and thyme. Cover; cook until vegetables soften, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Add broth and bring to boil. Reduce heat; simmer until vegetables are almost tender, about 15 minutes. Add saffron. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill. Bring to boil before continuing.) Add noodles; simmer 5 minutes. Add 1 cup chicken and corn; simmer until noodles are tender, about 5 minutes. Add parsley and celery. Season with salt and pepper.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have some leftover chicken in my freezer, so this is a great recipe to have on hand.

I served the soup with a side of crusty bread. It was the perfect meal for a cold winter day.

I didn't have any saffron, so I used turmeric instead. It turned out great!

The soup was too thick for my liking. I would add more water next time.

This soup is a bit bland for my taste. I would add more salt and pepper next time.

This soup was easy to make and very delicious. I used frozen corn and it worked out great. I also added a little bit of chili powder for a bit of a kick.

I'm not a huge fan of chicken noodle soup, but this recipe changed my mind. The saffron and corn added a nice touch of flavor. I'll definitely be making this again.
