Kitchen Basics: Chicken Noodle Soup

Submitted by: CHEF_MEG
Kitchen Basics: Chicken Noodle Soup

Introduction

The perfect soup to warm your belly on a cold night or soothe you when you're sick. The perfect soup to warm your belly on a cold night or soothe you when you're sick.
Number of Servings: 12

Ingredients

    Stock:
    1 white or yellow onion, chopped into a large dice
    2 stalks celery, chopped into a large dice
    2 carrots, chopped into a large dice
    3 pound whole chicken, skin removed
    1 gallon cold water
    1 bay leaf
    1 teaspoon black peppercorns

    Soup:
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    2 carrots, cut into ribbons with a vegetable peeler
    1 onion, diced fine
    2 stalks celery, diced fine
    4 ounces whole wheat pasta (cooked)
    1 tsp thyme, dried
    1/2 tsp oregano, dried
    1 tsp basil, dried (optional)
    salt and pepper to taste

Tips

This is a slow-cooking dish, but you'll get 12 servings from the soup, plus a quart of stock. This entire recipe cost just $8.41, about 70 cents a serving. That's less than a can of soup!

My 11-year-old son helped prep the carrots. He created curls using a Y-shaped peeler.

I recommend freezing single portions of soup in freezer bags laid flat so you have some on hand the next time someone gets the sniffles or has a bad day. Nothing warms the soul like homemade chicken soup.

I used a kosher chicken, which cost a bit more. If you wait for chicken to go on sale, you can save more money.

I used farfalle (bowtie) pasta, but you could use penne, elbow macaroni or another bite-size shape.

You're getting multiple meals from this versatile chicken soup recipe. That's why we need two sets of vegetables: one set cut into a large dice for the stock part of the soup that you'll use for another meal, and a second chopped into a small dice for the soup.


Directions

Remove the skin from the chicken.

Place the whole chicken in a large stock pot or saucepan that will hold at least one gallon of cold water.

Add the diced onion, celery, and carrots to the stock pot. Pour one gallon of cold water over the mixture and add the bay leaf and peppercorns. Bring the mixture to a boil and then immediately reduce to a simmer.

Allow the mixture to simmer for 45 minutes. Place a strainer over another large saucepan and strain the hot chicken mixture.

Strain the mixture a second time into the first pot using a coffee filter or cheesecloth. Reserve one quart of the stock for the freezer, and use the remaining for the soup. (Allow stock to cool to room temperature before freezing.)

In one of the stock pots, heat the oil and add the second batch of vegetables cut into the small dice. Sweat vegetables over low moderate heat for 5 to 8 minutes. While the vegetables are sweating, pull all the meat off the bones of the chicken.

Add the pasta, dried seasonings, and the pulled chicken meat to the pot simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
Recipe yields 3 quarts: 12 one cup servings

    If you keep the cooked pasta in a seperate container and add to the soup as you make each serving the pasta doesn't expand and and get mushy. - 1/6/10

    Great recipe. I make the stock part the day before so the fat rises to the top and solidifies. That way I don't have to fuss with skinning the chicken.

    sounds great... if you have the time to do it, you can roast the chicken and veggies in the oven for a short time to intensify the flavors before boiling. If it's really cold out it also helps heat the kitchen up, plus it makes the flavors that much stronger!! - 1/6/10

    I make this soup almost the same, except I use cardamom, B-salt, red, and black pepper instead of the other spices, and brown rice instead of pasta - it's very very yummy with warm homemade bread and butter, especially on a cold winter day. Way better than canned soup. Hubby loves this soup! - 1/6/10

    After I cook the stock, I place the liquid in the refrigerator to allow the fat to rise to the top. Before using (or freezing) the stock, I can then remove the coagulated (solid mass) of fat from the top.

    Shortcut - buy a rotisserie chicken (my grocery store has day old rotisserie chickens for almost half price) clean the chicken from the carcass and you won't have to worry about the fat floating in your water. Keep some chicken breast for a salad the following day. - 3/2/11

    Perfect for post holiday turkey. If I cannot cook up the stock after the meal I"ll freeze all roasted turkey/chicken stuff left after carving is completed. This includes: bones, skin and anything left in the bottom of roaster. Today I will pull the frozen "stuff" out and use Meg's Recipie . - 1/7/10

    Murf48: The very last words in teh recipe state:Serving size 1 cup. Simmering the bones is the only way to get the flavor,, just putting cut up meat tastes totally different if you don't use stock. Chef Meg is dead-on with this one,, I did not use oil,used cooking spray,, - 3/3/11

    Made this last night and today... made the stock last night from our 7 m.o. rooster; he had a good layer of fat on him so it went in the fridge to skim the fat. Then we made the soup. Added some cabbage and used a different pasta we had on hand but it was pretty much the same soup. Simple, warming. - 9/29/10

    I don't pre-cook pasta before adding it to soup. When I make large batches of soup, I eliminate the pasta. I keep out enough for the meal in the pot, bring to boiling & add enough pasta for that meal only. I store the rest of the soup in the freezer & add uncooked pasta when reheating. - 5/6/11

    Was hoping for something that tasted like "mom made it" but this was extremely "herb-y". After adding the herbs and tasting the soup, I put the soup through a sieve to try to remove most of the herbs. Next time, if I use the herbs, I will be reducing the amounts. - 4/28/10

    I love chicken soup - one of the few soups I really enjoy.
    I prefer rice to pasta. If I use pasta, it's either very small pasta shells (sold here as soup pasta) or scrunched up vermicelli.
    Instead of herbs and spices: leeks, grated carrot, and either kale or frozen finely chopped spinach. - 1/27/10

    totally agree about leaving the skin on and then refrigerating it overnight to get rid of the fat. I also like to include turnip and/or rutabaga to the stock vegetable mix. Instead of oregano/thyme/basil, I prefer using fresh parsely and fresh dill weed. - 10/13/12

    Love this recipe and it's a plus because there isn't much sodium in it (a necessity for me) - 7/12/12

    Delicious. I made mine in the pressure cooker and saved time. I also used a left over chicken carcass which was equally tasty. - 1/9/12

    My recipe is similar: I add garlic, minced parsley and at the end of cooking, chopped spinache. Use of the bones and skin makes the broth richer tasting, easily removed after cooking and any fat is easily skimmed off the top. I also puree the first round of veggies and add back to the soup mixture. - 1/6/12

    Love good soup! And this is truly a good soup. Keeping the cooked noodles out until service is a great idea. - 1/6/12

    I do like to freeze my soups as DH doesn't like soup, so I prefer to use barley instead of noodles - it won't get mushy when frozen & reheated. - 1/6/12

    The broth is amazing! I'm so glad I have some for the freezer for the flu season! I'm sure it will come in handy! Unless I use it for adding to mashed potatoes for Thanksgiving or Christmas first! - 10/19/11
