How To Make Chicken Noodle Soup Bow Tie?
Recipe Time
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Course: Main Course, Soup
Cuisine: American
Yield: Serves 6
Equipment Needed
- Large soup pot
- Wooden spoon
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Cutting board and knife
- Ladle
Ingredients
- 2 cups of cooked shredded chicken (I like to use rotisserie chicken for convenience)
- 1 cup of bow tie (farfalle) pasta
- 8 cups of chicken broth (homemade or store-bought)
- 2 medium carrots, sliced
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oilhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olive_oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Juice of 1 lemon (optional for a bright, fresh flavor)
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
1. Sauté The Vegetables
Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the diced onions, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté until the onions become translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Stir frequently to avoid burning.
2. Add Broth And Seasoning
Pour in the chicken broth, and season with thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Let it cook for about 10 minutes so the vegetables can soften and the flavors meld together.
3. Cook The Bow Tie Pasta
Add the bow tie pasta to the simmering soup and cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until the pasta is tender but still firm to bite. Be sure to stir occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking.
4. Add The Chicken
Once the pasta is cooked, stir in the shredded chicken. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes, just enough to warm the chicken through.
5. Adjust Seasoning And Finish With Lemon
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning as necessary. If you like a bit of brightness, stir in the lemon juice before serving.
6. Garnish And Serve
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately with a slice of crusty bread on the side.
