Ingredients

Chicken and Broth

  • 1 cut-up whole chicken (3 to 3 1/2 lb)
  • 4 1/2 cups cold water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 medium celery stalk (with leaves), cut-up
  • 1 carrot, cut up
  • 1 small onion, cut up
  • 1 parsley sprig

Soup

  • 2 medium carrots, sliced (1 cup)
  • 2 medium celery stalks, sliced (1 cup)
  • 1 small onion, chopped (1/4 cup)
  • 1 tablespoon chicken bouillon granules
  • 1 cup uncooked medium egg noodles (2 oz)
  • Chopped fresh parsley

Directions

  •  
    1
    Remove excess fat from chicken. In Dutch oven or stock pot, place chicken, giblets (except liver) and neck. Add remaining chicken and broth ingredients; heat to boiling. Skim foam from broth; reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer about 45 minutes or until juice of chicken is no longer pink when centers of thickest pieces are cut.
  •  
    2
    Remove chicken from broth. Cool chicken about 10 minutes or just until cool enough to handle. Strain broth through cheesecloth-lined strainer; discard vegetables. Remove skin and bones from chicken. Cut chicken into 1/2-inch pieces. Skim and discard fat from broth. Use immediately, or cover and refrigerate broth and chicken in separate containers up to 24 hours or freeze for future use.
  •  
    3
    Add enough water to broth to measure 5 cups. In Dutch oven, heat broth, sliced carrots, sliced celery, chopped onion and bouillon granules to boiling. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer about 15 minutes or until carrots are tender.
  •  
    4
    Stir in noodles and chicken. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low; simmer uncovered 7 to 10 minutes or until noodles are tender, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle with parsley.

Expert Tips

  • tip 1
    Start with 3 cups canned chicken broth and 3 cups cut-up cooked chicken or turkey instead of making the chicken and broth.
  • tip 2
    Leave nothing to waste. Three to 3 1/2 pounds of chicken necks, backs and giblets (except liver) can also be used to make broth.
