Homemade Grilled Chicken Noodle Soup Recipes

HOMEMADE CHICKEN SOUP FROM THE CARCASS

Steps:

• One the greatest by-products of roasting a whole chicken (which I do as a pretty frequent Sunday meal), is the opportunity to make Homemade Chicken Soup with the leftover bones & carcass. Not sure if there is a food that feels more comforting and homey than Chicken Soup. Just about every family and every culture has a version, and it's one of those foods that just makes you feel good. This Homemade Chicken Soup Recipe is not hard to make, as I'll do with the leftover chicken(s) after the Sunday Roast (although you could start from an uncooked chicken). I'll show you how to make the broth from the carcass, and then put it together with the classic vegetables, and some pasta. Of course, it's easy to add other ingredients to make it your own. Hope you enjoy this Chicken Soup Recipe! Recipe Overview & Keys to Success To make the best Chicken Soup, just follow these few cooking techniques: Make your own chicken broth/stock with left over bones/carcass (you can even freeze them until you have enough) While it takes a bit more time, the essence of the soup is the broth, and you can make much better broth than you can buy Try to get the vegetables as uniformly cut as possible. Not only will that help ensure they cook evenly, but it makes the chicken soup easier, and more pleasant to eat. If you're using leftover chicken like me, make sure to pull the chicken meat you want in the soup, off the carcass before making the broth. While the bones simmer and make the broth, the meat is going to give up all it's flavor and get every dry - you won't want that in the soup. Instead we'll add the meat back to the soup at the last minute Note, you can freeze the leftover chicken carcasses and make the soup another day; or better yet, make the chicken broth, and freeze that. Then you can pull it out to make the chicken soup, whenever you want RECIPE FOR HOMEMADE CHICKEN SOUP Ingredients (for 5) 1 - 2 left over chicken carcasses (with some meat on the bone) 1/2 cup pieces of chicken meat 2 carrots diced into quarter inch pieces 1 large celery rib diced into quarter inch pieces 1 yellow onion diced 2 garlic cloves mined 1/3 cup orzo pasta (you can use traditional spaghetti or any pasta you'd like) 1 teaspoon thyme 1 ear of corn (optional) Homemade Chicken Soup From the Carcass Assuming you're using leftover roast chicken, remove any remaining meat from the carcass and dice it for the soup If you need more chicken meat, you can certainly cook off another breast and dice it up as well Place the chicken carcass(es) in a stock pot and cover with water by 2 - 3 inches Bring the water up to a very light simmer, and continue to simmer for 45 minutes to hour to make the chicken broth Remove the chicken bones from the broth and discard. Pour the broth into a bowl, through a strainer to collect any small bones or bits of chicken, and set the broth aside Clean the soup pot, and put it back over medium heat, coat with olive oil Add the carrots, onion, celery and garlic. Season with salt and pepper and stir to combine Continue to sweat the vegetables until the onions are just translucent Add the thyme leaves, and the chicken broth Bring everything up to a simmer again, and cook until the carrots just soften (about 10 minutes) Add the corn, chicken and orzo pasta Cook for another 5 - 8 minutes until the orzo is tender Taste and re-season the soup if needed Serve up this delicious Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup with some crusty bread and a nice salad, can you've got a perfect, warming, comforting meal. Hope you enjoy it! Wine Recommendation: Soups can make for a tough wine pairings. I don't really like reds for chicken soup, as the flavors are likely to drown (no pun intended) the lighter soup. Similarly, so would full bodied or oaky whites. I'd suggest you go with an austere white wine, like a Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire Valley in France. The wines are generally fairly tight, minerally, and clean tasting, and should accent the sweet elements in the soup. Hope you enjoy it!

CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP

Steps:

• Place a soup pot over medium heat and coat with the oil. Add the onion, garlic, carrots, celery, thyme and bay leaf. Cook and stir for about 6 minutes, until the vegetables are softened but not browned. Pour in the chicken stock and bring the liquid to a boil. Add the noodles and simmer for 5 minutes until tender. Fold in the chicken, and continue to simmer for another couple of minutes to heat through; season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
• Place the chicken and vegetables in a large stockpot over medium heat. Pour in only enough cold water to cover (about 3 quarts); too much will make the broth taste weak. Toss in the thyme, bay leaves, and peppercorns, and allow it to slowly come to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-low and gently simmer for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, partially covered, until the chicken is done. As it cooks, skim any impurities that rise to the surface; add a little more water if necessary to keep the chicken covered while simmering.
• Carefully remove the chicken to a cutting board. When its cool enough to handle, discard the skin and bones; hand-shred the meat into a storage container.
• Carefully strain the stock through a fine sieve into another pot to remove the vegetable solids. Use the stock immediately or if you plan on storing it, place the pot in a sink full of ice water and stir to cool down the stock. Cover and refrigerate for up to one week or freeze.

HOMEMADE ROASTED CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Prepare roasted chicken: Place chicken pieces on a rimmed baking sheet. Lightly coat with 2 teaspoons oil, then sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
• Toss carrots, onion, and garlic with the remaining 2 teaspoons oil. Arrange mixture around the chicken pieces on baking sheet.
• Roast in the preheated oven until vegetables are golden brown and chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 50 to 60 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove the baking sheet from the oven and add 1 cup cold water.

• Prepare stock: Add liquid and vegetables from the baking sheet to the Dutch oven. Add 10 cups cold water, carrots, celery, onion, parsley stems, and bay leaf; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer, occasionally skimming the surface for impurities, 2 to 4 hours. Strain and discard solids and reserve stock.
