I make Chicken soup quite often. My family loves it. My soup is very flavorful, and delicious. It has just the right amount of seasoning. It is far from bland. I make a large pot and freeze the left overs. Serve with some crusty bread and dig in. Enjoy!

How To Make savory chicken noodle soup by noreen'

  • 1
    Skin the thighs. Leave skin on drum sticks. It is easier to skin thighs. You want some skin for flavor. Place in a large pot. Pour water over the chicken. Boil chicken on high until done. This should take about 30-45 minutes after it reaches the boiling point. Note: Substitute A rotisserie chicken if wanted. Simply boil the chicken after your remove a lot of the meat from the bone. Boil the carcass and some of the drumsticks and meat. Save remaining meat to add to pot later.
  • 2
    Remove chicken from pot. I usually cover the chicken with cold water to cool it down. Pull meat from bones. Skim about 1/4 cup of chicken fat from top of pot of broth and discard. Place some pf pulled chicken meat back in to pot. Discard chicken skin. Place 3 drum stick bones back in to pot of broth. Discard the rest.
  • 3
    Saute onion and celery in 2 tbs oil. Cook until softened. Add to pot. Add in the carrots later so they don't become mushy.
  • 4
    Bring pot back up to boiling point. Stir in the rest of the ingredients. Herbs etc. continue to boil for 45 minutes. Add in carrots. Boil until carrots are done. ( pierce with a fork to test tenderness. )Remove bones.
  • 5
    Cook egg noodles. Place some egg noodles in a bowl. Add some more of the chicken you cooked. Spoon soup over noodles to serve. I like my soup served with crusty Italian bread and butter.
