1 1/4 cups uncooked medium egg noodles


1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley





In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, saute carrot, celery and onion in butter until tender. Add broth, chicken and seasonings; bring to a boil. Reduce heat. Add noodles; cook for 10 minutes or until tender. Add parsley.
INGREDIENTS


1 (2 to 3 pound) chicken


2 1/2 quarts water


3 teaspoons salt


2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules


1/2 medium onion, chopped


1/8 teaspoon pepper


1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram


1/4 teaspoon dried thyme


1 bay leaf


1 cup diced carrots


1 cup diced celery


1 1/2 cups uncooked fine noodles








DIRECTIONS


In a large soup kettle, place chicken and all ingredients except noodles. Cover and bring to a boil; skim broth. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 1-1/2 hours or until chicken is tender. Remove chicken from broth; allow to cool. Debone chicken and cut into chunks. Skim fat from broth; bring to a boil. Add noodles; cook until noodles are done. Return chicken to kettle; adjust seasonings to taste. Remove bay leaf before serving.
I like cooking a whole chicken with stuffing, and coat the chicken with: olive oil oregano, parsley, fresh garlic, celery salt, onion powder and black pepper. Mix these together and rub over the chicken. Cook and enjoy the first of three meals.





After picking off the extra chicken meat and setting aside in the refrigerator: put chicken bones - all of them - back into a stock pot and cover with cold water. Add more herbs, same ones from above, and chopped carrots, onions and celery. Cook till meat falls off bones.





Cool and strain chicken and bones. Pick chicken out and refrigerate. Put broth (keep in stock pot) in refrigerator. Next day, remove excess fat from top of chilled broth.





Return stock pot to stove, heat slowly, add natural chicken broth (I prefer box style with no msg or preservatives). Add rest of chicken stored in refrigerator. Bring to almost a boil, add noodles, cook to desired tenderness. Add salt and pepper to taste.





It sounds like a lot of work, yet I get three meals out of this. There is usually plenty of chicken for two meals, and plenty for the soup. Sometimes I add the gravy to the soup if there is any leftover.





Cook once a week and get three meals - worth the effort. Enjoy and experiment with herbs, fresh and dried!
Get a large pot and fill it 85% of the way with hot water. Put it on the stove on medium heat. Add 1/2 stick of butter and 1 whole chicken (if you don't have a whole chicken, 3-4 chicken leg quarters will work just as well--you need the skin for flavor). Add diced celery, garlic, and season salt (to your own preferences). Bring to a boil. Let it simmer for about 2 hours or until chicken is cooked thouroughly. Make sure that you keep the pot full of water--you may have to add water a couple of times due to evaporation. After the chicken is done cooking, set the chicken on a platter to cool and pour the broth into a bowl through a strainer to remove celery and pieces of chicken that may have fallen off. Put the broth back in the pot and put the pot on the stove. Add your noodles to the broth after it comes to a boil. I use the frozen egg noodles (same aisle as frozen rolls), but you can use the dry egg noodles. While the noodles are cooking, de-bone the chicken and remove all of the skin and unedible parts (bones, veins, joints, etc. Break the chicken up into bite size pieces and return to the pot. Make a thickening agent out of 3 heaping tablespoons of flour (not the self rising) and 1 cup of hot water. Mix it well. Add to soup by pouring through a strainer (so that there are no lumps) and stir very well. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes. If it is to the desired thickness, then it is ready; if you want it thicker--do the previous step again. Add salt to taste (very easy to over or under salt-if you oversalt, wash a potato, cut it in half and put in the soup to absorb some of the salt). I serve my chicken soup with mashed potatoes and corn (on the side or mixed all together--either way it is delicous!). Good luck! I hope I helped.

Here is an easy one.


5 Cans Chicken Broth


2 tablespoons Butter/Marg


1 tablespoon Olive Oil


2 Ribs Celery Diced


1 whole yellow onion diced


1 carrot pealed and diced


2 cups diced raw chicken


One package Egg Noodles


Salt, Pepper, Garlic, Thyme, Parsley





In large pot or Dutch Oven saute Celery, Onion and Carrot in butter/oil until glossy and not quite soft, add chicken broth, chicken and seasoning. Bring to a boil, lower heat to a very low simmer with lid on for 20 minutes.


Bring to a boil again, add noodles and cook according to package directions.


Serve!
what ever recipe you choose, if you want your chicken to taste like chicken, roast the bird in the oven first. when it cools off, remove the meat, and make your broth/stock from the carcass. i know it is a little extra work, but boiled chicken tastes like rubber, and you will get that nasty protein foam in your broth.
This looks like a good one. Very basic and easy:
