THE BEST CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP
We chose to use chicken leg quarters rather than a whole chicken to make this well-loved soup. It shortens the cooking time without sacrificing any flavor, and the dark meat adds extra depth. Carrots, celery and onion are called for twice in the recipe-first they're simmered whole along with the chicken and aromatics to create a rich and flavorful broth. After straining them out, sliced vegetables are added to the soup to finish it. Nothing is as simple, comforting and satisfying.

Steps:
- Add 3 of the carrots, 3 stalks of the celery, half the onion, the chicken, peppercorns, rosemary, thyme and bay leaf to a large stock pot. Separate the parsley leaves from the stems and reserve the leaves. Add the stems to the pot. Cover with 3 quarts water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until the broth is golden and the chicken is cooked through, 40 to 50 minutes.
- Use tongs to remove the chicken from the pot and put in a large bowl to cool. Strain the stock through a fine mesh sieve into a large bowl or other container. Discard the solids. Wipe out the stockpot and pour the strained broth back into the pot.
- Cut the remaining 2 carrots diagonally into 1/4-slices. Cut the remaining 2 celery stalks into 1/2-inch slices. Dice the remaining half of the onion. Add the cut vegetables to the stock and simmer until tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
- While the vegetables are cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Cook the noodles until al dente, about 5 minutes, then drain and reserve.
- When the chicken is cool enough to handle, remove the skin and tear the meat into bite-size pieces. Discard the bones and skin. Add the meat back to the pot along with the cooked noodles. Chop the reserved parsley leaves and add to the pot. Season with 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons salt and some pepper and bring to a simmer to reheat.
EAST-MEETS-WEST ESSENTIALS: CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP
Worked this out in an all-nighter, but the weather was awesome, and I had all the test kitchen windows open, letting in those fragrant night breezes. This recipe is all about the broth. I wanted something that would change up a nice comfy bowl of chicken noodle soup, but that would be easy to make, and in the process give the...

Steps:
- 1. PREP/PREPARE
- 2. To make this recipe, you will need a soup pot large enough to hold all of the ingredients, and a pot to boil the noodles.
- 3. Not a Fan of Alcohol? You really need something like my recommended liquors, or the broth will taste a bit on the flat side. However, if you still need a substitute, try adding about a teaspoon of oyster, hoisin, or fish sauce. FYI: No matter what anyone tells you, when you use alcohol in a recipe it will NOT completely burn off. It might be a teeny/tiny amount, but it will be there. So, if your reason for not drinking alcohol is on the religious side, then NEVER use it in a recipe. No Chicken Stock? Not everyone keeps frozen containers of homemade chicken stock in their freezers (really???), so use what you have. If you have cans or boxes of store-bought chicken stock or broth, go for it. Hopefully it will be low sodium. In a major pinch I have been known to use, Better Than Bouillon; however, I am afraid to look at the label and see what is in it :-) No Chicken? No worries, use beef, or pork, this would even work with a good solid white fish, or shimp; however, I have not gone in that direction yet. Or just leave out the protein and pile in the veggies.
- 4. Timing is Everything We can have up to four things going here: 1. The broth base. 2. The protein (I am using chicken). 3. The veggies. 4. The noodles. And each one of these require a particular cooking time. The goal is to have everything ready at the same time. We will be cooking the noodles in a separate pot, and everything else will cook in the soup pot with the broth. Later in this recipe, I have a sample chart that describes how you cook things so that they finish at the same time. Not really rocket science... or is it :-)
- 5. What is Nutritional Yeast? It is an inactivated form of yeast commonly used to leaven bread. In other words: Dead Yeast. Dried nutritional yeast is a versatile seasoning to keep right next to the salt and pepper. Shake a dusting on toast or a bagel, use it to flavor popcorn, add it to soups before serving, replace the classic Parmesan sprinkle on a plate of pasta. Vegan-adapted recipes use nutritional yeast to add creaminess to sauces or to replicate traditionally cheese-laden dishes such as mac and cheese, au gratin potatoes, or Italian-style pasta casseroles. What Does It Taste Like? The words "nutty" and "cheesy" appear in nearly every description of nutritional yeast, yet the flavor does not replicate those ingredients exactly. It adds umami, that savory background note often referred to as the fifth taste, and similarly to salt, enhances the overall savories of a dish, although it contains almost no sodium. For this recipe about a teaspoon is all you would need.
- 6. Noodles This recipe is designed to serve two people, so include enough noodles for both of you. As to the type of noodles, the choice is up to you, egg noodles, rice noodles, pasta noodles, flat or round; even ramen. I used some regular spaghetti noodles, and it came out quite nice. Here are some suggestions for the noodles. The weights indicate the serving size for an average adult. • Fresh noodles, about 3 - 4 ounces (85 - 113g) • Dried noodles, about 2 ounces (57g) • Ramen noodles, 1 package
- 7. Veggies Pretty much everything is okay for a soup like this. You could stay traditional with carrots, celery, onions, peas, broccoli, the lot, or you could go more Eastern and toss in some bok choi, pak choi, or choy sum. Andy's Rule, if you like it, chuck it in the pot.
- 8. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
- 9. Add all of the broth ingredients (including the chicken, but not the lemon juice into a soup pot and turn the heat to medium. If you have a kitchen timer set it to 20 minutes, but do not turn it on yet. Stir until the broth comes up to a boil, reduce to a simmer, turn on the timer, and follow the chart in the next step.
- 10. My chart is set to the cooking times for the chicken, noodles and veggies that I am using. • Chicken poaches in 20 minutes. • Noodles cook al dente in 11 minutes. • Veggies cook in 5 minutes. Step 1: Continue to stir and simmer the broth. Step 2: At 7 minutes in, bring the noodle water up to the boil. Step 3: At 10 minutes in, add the noodles to the boiling water. Step 4: At 16 minutes in, add the veggies to the simmering broth. Step 5: At 20 minutes in, remove the chicken thighs and shred or slice. Fish out the bay leaf, and then brighten up the broth by the addition of 1 - 2 teaspoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice.
- 11. ASSEMBLY
- 12. Divide the noodles between two bowls.
- 13. Place half the shredded/sliced chicken on top.
- 14. Ladle some broth and veggies on top.
- 15. As you can see from the photo, I did not use any veggies. At this stage of recipe development, I was more concerned with the flavor of the broth.
- 16. PLATE/PRESENT
- 17. Serve while nice and hot, possibly with some crusty bread and a small side salad. Enjoy.
- 18. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
