Hi everyone, its Natasha of Natashaskitchen.com and today we're making
classic chicken noodle soup. It is loaded
with juicy chicken and tender noodles.
This is so easy, good for you and a true
comfort food. And it's a family favorite.
Start by pouring 10 cups of water and 4
cups of chicken broth into a large soup
pot. Add a tablespoon of sea salt, then
bring it to a boil over medium-high heat
and add 4 chicken thighs. Partially cover
and keep it at a low boil for 20 minutes
while you prep the rest of your
ingredients. Peel and thinly slice 2
large or three medium carrots and set
them aside. Now finely chop 2 medium
celery sticks and I like to finely chop
them because I don't love the texture of
celery but I do love the flavor that it
adds to the soup. Also finely chop one
whole medium onion and it seems like a
lot of onion now, but don't worry, it
shrinks down and disappears into the
soup and if you have some great tips on
chopping onions without the tears, let me
know in a comment below. I've tried some
things, but I just think my eyeballs
don't like the onions. Now place a large
pan over medium-high heat with 2
tablespoons of olive oil and add the
chopped onions and celery. Saute, stirring
frequently for 5 to 8 minutes or until
the onions are golden.
Transfer your sautéed veggies to the
soup pot along with your sliced carrots.
Now add 6 to 8 ounces of spiral pasta,
depending on how hard you want your soup
to be and cook for 15 minutes at a low
boil or until the pasta reaches your
desired doneness. While the pasta is
cooking, remove the chicken thighs and
use two forks to shred the chicken into
bite-size pieces. Discard any fat or
bones.
Transfer the shredded chicken back to
the pot. When the pasta is just about
done cooking, season the soup with one
teaspoon of Mrs. Dash or your favorite
salt free seasoning, then add one large
pressed garlic clove, three tablespoons
of fresh dill and more salt to taste if
needed. Simmer for another minute then
turn off the heat.
Yum! We are done and that was so easy.
This is one of my go-to soups because it
comes together so quick and everybody in
my family loves this. And look at just
how loaded and hearty this is. It has so
much chicken in it and I personally love
overcooking the noodles so they're like
big and plump and my kids love it too.
But you don't have to overcook yours if
you don't want to. I'm gonna serve this
up right away because I cannot wait. Oh
my goodness! This is old-school comfort
food chicken noodle soup. All right, going
in for the taste test. I cannot wait. This
is one of my all-time favorite soups all
All right, a little bit of everything. This is
so hardy and loaded. This is so good, such
a comforting food. Oh, seriously I can
eat this three times a day. I love the
plump noodles in every bite and the
chicken is just fall apart tender and so
juicy. And using chicken thighs, gives it
some really good flavor. I'd say that's
the secret to making this soup
completely amazing.
Yum - yum! I cannot wait to enjoy the rest
of this and serve it to my kiddos for
dinner. This is one feel-good dinner. If you
