Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup

What can be better than a hot bowl of soup on a chilly fall day? And to couple this savory soup with some freshly made Homemade French Bread is so satisfying; it’s one of our family’s favorite meals. My kids are kind of picky little eaters, but whenever I make this soup there are no left overs, some ask for seconds. On the main post picture I added a little more potatoes, chicken and noodles to this bowl to show the ingredients of the soup better but it’s really not this thick. This is one of my favorite comfort foods. The chicken is very tender and the home grown carrots and potatoes give the soup a little extra flavor.

Home grown produce is becoming less available this time of year, I’ve also have made this soup from store bought carrots and potatoes and it’s pretty delicious too. I used organic chicken bouillon paste instead of cubes, but it doesn’t really change the flavor of the broth, so either one is fine. Cold season is just around the corner, it’s really good to have a tasty chicken noodle soup recipe on hand to make for family and friends who unfortunately come down with it. Regardless, this soup is so delicious; I guarantee you’ll agree with me! 🙂

Ingredients you will need:
½ lbs. (or one whole) – chicken breast
4 large – potatoes
1 large – carrot
3 litters – water
2 bay – leaves
1 tbsp. – salt + ¼ tsp. for frying chicken
1 tsp. – dry parsley (or 1 tbsp. freshly chopped)
1 tsp. – garlic salt
¼ tsp. black ground pepper
1 tsp. – vegeta
2 chicken bouillon cubes
½ cup – broken into ½ inch pieces angel hair noodles
1 tbsp. olive oil + 1tsp for frying chicken
½ tsp. – Mrs. Dash
1 tbsp. – fresh or frozen dill

Instructions:
1. I start this soup with frying chicken. Wash and cut chicken into pieces.

2. Place the chicken in a small skillet, add olive oil, sprinkle with Mrs. Dash, and salt.


3. Fry the chicken on medium heat for 5 minutes or until the chicken is little bit golden brown on some sides. Set aside.

4. Peal, wash and cut potatoes into cubes. Wash them again.


5. Place potatoes into a 5 quart pot. Add water, salt and bay leaves.

6. Before boiling starts, remove the foam.

7. After it boils reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 5 minutes then add noodles. Stir the noodles right away, and then stir about every minute for 5 minutes, so they don’t stick.

8. During the simmering time fry the carrots in oil, with spices: parsley, garlic salt, black pepper, vegeta, chicken cubes and fried chicken for 3 minutes on medium heat.

9. Add cooked carrots and spices into the soup.

10. Mix it well. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes. Turn the heat off and add chopped dill.



11. I like for the soup to stand on the stove for 30 min to an hour so all the spices can really soak into all other ingredients. It tastes better that way. Pour some of the soup into your favorite bowl (it makes the soup taste even better…  🙂 and enjoy with fresh Homemade French Bread.
