How to Make Amish Style Chicken And Corn Soup Ww Core

  1. Add 6 cups of chicken broth, 2 cups cooked shredded chicken, 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 stalks celery (chopped), and a pinch of saffron threads (about 1/4 teaspoon) to a large saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes. Gently skim any foam from the surface during simmering.
  4. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside to cool slightly.
  5. Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean saucepan, discarding the solids.
  6. Return the strained broth to the saucepan.
  7. Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, remove any bones and shred or dice it into 1/2-inch cubes.
  8. Add 1 cup cooked noodles (such as egg noodles or thin spaghetti), 1 cup frozen or canned corn (drained), the shredded chicken, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, and the reserved celery to the broth.
  9. Heat the soup gently until all ingredients are heated through and the noodles are tender. Do not boil.
  10. Serve hot and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
