Amish Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe
Equipment
- Large pot
- Wooden spoon
- Chef's knife
- Cutting board
Ingredients
1 whole chicken, about 4 pounds, giblets removed
8 cups chicken broth
2 cups water
3 carrots, peeled and sliced
3 celery stalks, sliced
1 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
8 ounces egg noodles
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
Prep The Chicken
- Start by rinsing the chicken under cold water and patting it dry with paper towels. Cut the chicken into pieces, removing excess fat if desired.
Cook The Chicken
- In a large pot, combine the chicken pieces, chicken broth, water, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, bay leaves, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 1 hour, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
Shred The Chicken
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pot and let it cool slightly. Use two forks to shred the chicken meat into bite-sized pieces, discarding the bones and skin. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.
Add The Noodles
- Bring the soup back to a simmer and add the egg noodles. Cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.
Serve
- Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy the comforting warmth of Amish Chicken Noodle Soup!
