Chicken Broth
Carrots
Celery
Onions
black peppercorns
A clove garlic
fresh parsley
1 bay leaf
salt & pepper
Egg noodles
To make the stock: In a large stockpot, cook chicken & chicken broth over medium heat. Add bay leaf, peppercorns, garlic, parsley. I also add big chunks of celery, onions and carrots.
Add extra water to cover the chicken. I like to add big spoonfuls of chicken bouillon for added flavor. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer.
Cover and cook for 1 1/2 hours or until the chicken is falling off of the bone.
I put a strainer on top of another pot. Then pour the stock pot into the strainer so that the broth is caught in the other pot and the chicken and vegetables in the strainer.
How to Make Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup:
Once it is cool enough to handle, remove skin and bones from the chicken and cut the meat into pieces.
In the large pot with the reserved broth in it, add chicken, onion, carrots, celery, parsley, salt & pepper to taste.
Simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 1 hour. Add egg noodles and cook an additional 10 minutes or until noodles are tender. Don’t overcook your noodles.
