This is a great chicken soup recipe, it only takes about15 minutes
to prepare and about 2 hours and fifteen minutes to cook it right up.


Ingredients:
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
2 medium onions, chopped
3 medium carrots, cut into 1/4-inch rounds
3 celery ribs, cut into 1/4-inch thick slices
1 (6- to 7-pound) chicken
2 quarts chicken broth or canned low-sodium broth
1 quart cold water, or as needed
4 sprigs of fresh parsley
3 sprigs of fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 bay leaf
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups egg noodles
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish


How to prepare:

Heat the oil in a brothpot over medium heat. Add the onions, carrots, and celery and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 10 minutes.

Cut the chicken into 8 pieces. If there are any pads of yellow fat in the tail area, do not remove them. Add the chicken to the pot and pour in the broth. Add enough cold water to cover the ingredients by 2 inches. Bring to a boil over high heat, skimming off the foam that rises to the surface. Add the parsley, thyme, and bay leaf.

Reduce the heat to low. Simmer, uncovered, until the chicken is very tender, about 2 hours.

Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside until cool enough to handle. Remove and discard the parsley and thyme sprigs and bay leaf. Let stand 5 minutes and degrease the soup, reserving the fat if you are making matzo balls.

Discard the chicken skin and bones and cut the meat into bite-size pieces. Add the noodles and cook until done, about 10 minutes. Stir the meat back into the soup and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve hot.

My Opinion:

This soup serves 12 to 14 people, it is very good. Who doesn't love a nice, warm bowl of soup on a cold day or on a sick day! When I'm feeling under the weather I really like to eat this chicken soup, this is a great recipe that my mom always used. It's good to eat something so comforting and this soup does just that, makes people feel better, especially if the person has a flu or a cold.

Anyway, even if it is psychological, it works...so go ahead and give it a try, you'll love it!
