How to Make Beauchamp S Chicken Noodle Soup

  1. **Make Chicken Stock:** If you don't have leftover roasted chicken, roast a whole chicken (about 4 lbs) at 400°F (200°C) for 1.5-2 hours until cooked through. Remove meat from bones, reserving about 2 cups shredded chicken. Place carcass and bones in a large pot, cover with 8 cups of water, and simmer for at least 1 hour, or up to 3 hours for a richer stock. Strain stock through a fine-mesh sieve, discarding solids.
  2. **Cook Noodles:** Cook 8 ounces of egg noodles according to package directions. Rinse with cold water, drain, and set aside.
  3. **Sauté Aromatics:** In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt 2 tablespoons of fat skimmed from the chicken stock. Sauté 1 medium onion, chopped, until translucent (about 5 minutes).
  4. **Add Spices:** Add 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon of dried thyme, and 1/4 teaspoon of dried rosemary to the pot. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  5. **Simmer Vegetables:** Add 2 cups of chopped carrots and the sautéed onions to the chicken stock. Bring to a simmer and cook for 8 minutes.
  6. **Add Finishing Touches:** Stir in 1 cup of frozen peas and 2 cups of fresh spinach. Add the cooked noodles and simmer for another 2 minutes, or until heated through.
  7. **Serve:** Ladle soup into bowls, top with the reserved shredded chicken, 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.
