What could be better for your tummy and head than chicken noodle soup with lots of fresh herbs? It's a double whammy of resuscitation, with a bonus fof fat noodles. Ingredients:
my basic broth recipe |
carcass of a chicken , and partly from a bunch of turkey necks . i make broth in a large pasta pot, with a drainer insert. then, when i am done, i can pull out and strain any bones, and the depleted soup veg in one easy shot, leaving the clear stock behind. this one included leek greens. carrots , celery, a parsnip, and bay, thyme and celery leaves in a little bundle. it turned out to be pretty concentrated, with a high bones to water ratio- after 4 hours burbling away on a tiny flame. ater making my noodle soup, i still have half of the broth left in the freezer.i like to make broth a day ahead, refrigerate and skim fat. |
ingredients for chicken soup |
rich poultry broth 1 quart |
sugar snap peas, cut in half 1 cup |
thinly sliced leftover roast lemon chicken meat 1 breast |
fat type noodles 6 oz. dry |
salt and freshly ground black pepper |
fresh basil 1/4 cup , in thin strips a/k/a chiffonade |
fresh tarragon 2 tbsps minced |
fresh oregano or marjoram 2 tbsps chopped |
fresh chives 1/4 cup, snipped up with scissors |
Directions:
1. Bring a pasta pot full of salted water to the boil, add noodles and cook 9 to 12 minutes, or until al dente.
2. Meanwhile, heat the broth in another, heavy pot.
3. Add the sugar snap peas and chicken, and heat through.
4. Correct seasoning.
5. Drain noodles and add to soup with the fresh herbs.
6. Serve with a fork and spoon and big cloth napkin.
7. This is a whole meal soup.
8. Little parmesan toasts go nicely, or just crusty bread.and sweet creamery butter.
9. Naturally, this is even nicer if you feel like making homemade egg noodles made rag noodle style or just ripped in pieces.
