Chicken Noodle Soup Ingredients:

  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 cup egg noodles use gluten free noodles for gluten free version

Instructions
For the home made chicken broth:
  1. Place chicken in a pot (if pot is too small for whole chicken to be covered with water, chop it into smaller pieces first) and fill the pot up with cold water. Bring to a boil, pour out all the water, fill the pot up again (washing off any residue that has formed on the sides) and bring to a boil again.
  2. As soon as water boils the second time, reduce heat to low, add carrot, celery, onion and peppercorns and continue to simmer, uncovered for 1 hour. Using a spoon, occasionally skim off any film that forms on the surface. Add bay leaves, salt and pepper, a few minutes before broth is done.
  3. Remove chicken, celery, carrot, onion and bay leaves.
  4. **Broth can be refrigerated (after a few hours the fat will rise to the surface and you will be able to just scoop it up with a spoon) or frozen for up to 6 months
Directions for the Chicken Noodle Soup :
  1. Heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add carrots and celery. Sweat the vegetables for 10 minutes, without letting them brown. Add salt/pepper to taste.
  2. Add chicken broth, onion and garlic, and bring to a boil. Once boiling add egg noodles. Reduce heat and cook for 10 minutes.
  3. Add shredded chicken, and bay leaves. Cook 5 minutes. Remove onion, garlic and bay leaves. Serve hot!
