How to Make Another Chicken Noodle Soup From Scratch
- Prepare the chicken: If using a whole chicken, rinse and place it in a large stock pot or Dutch oven. If using parts, use those instead. Add 8 cups of water.
- Add aromatics: Add the chopped onion or sliced leeks, minced garlic, chopped carrots, and celery to the pot.
- Season the broth: Add 1 tablespoon of salt (or to taste), 1 teaspoon of black peppercorns, and 2 bay leaves.
- Bring to a simmer: Place the pot over medium-high heat. Once it starts to bubble, reduce heat to medium-low to maintain a gentle simmer.
- Partially cover and simmer: Partially cover the pot with a lid and simmer for at least 30 minutes.
- Remove the chicken: After 30 minutes, carefully remove the chicken from the pot. Set aside to cool.
- Separate chicken and bones: Once cool enough to handle, remove the chicken meat from the bones. Shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Return the chicken bones to the pot.
- Simmer the broth (optional): For a richer broth, continue simmering for another 3-8 hours. The longer it simmers, the more flavorful the broth will be.
- Strain the broth: Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve or colander lined with cheesecloth into a large bowl or clean pot. Discard the solids.
- Return to the pot: Add the shredded chicken and the previously added carrots to the strained broth.
- Bring to a boil: Bring the broth back to a boil over high heat.
- Cook the noodles: Add the egg noodles and cook for 8 minutes, or until tender but not mushy.
- Season and serve: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Ladle into bowls and enjoy! Consider adding fresh herbs such as parsley or chives as a garnish.
