Chicken Soup
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Butter or Olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon Chopped onions
- 1/4 teaspoon Chopped dried rosemary
- 1 Sliced thin carrot
- 1 Sliced thin celery stalk
- 2 tablespoons White wine ((Optional))
- 2 teaspoons Chicken bouillon paste
- 1 1/2 cup Water
- 1 Egg
- 1/2 cup Cooked chopped chicken
- 1/2 teaspoon Lemon juice ((Optional))
Instructions
-
In a medium pot, over medium-low heat, add 1 Tablespoon butter, ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, ¼ teaspoon dried thyme, ¼ teaspoon dried rosemary (finely chopped), 1 Tablespoon chopped onion, thinly sliced carrot, thinly sliced celery stalk.
-
Stir and cook until vegetables are tender, about 5-8 minutes.
-
Deglaze with 2 Tablespoons white wine (optional). Stir, add 2 teaspoons chicken bouillon paste and 1 ½ cup water (or 1 ½ cups chicken broth). Bring to boil. You can let this cook for longer, if desired.
-
Once soup is boiling, add ¾ cup egg noodles and ½ cup chopped cooked chicken. Cook about 6-8 minutes, or until noodles are cooked.
-
Add ½ teaspoon lemon juice (or squeeze a slice of lemon over soup), serve immediately.
-
Note
- Using uncooked chicken? Chop chicken and cook it in your pot first. Cook for a couple minutes on each side, until largest piece is about 160-165 degrees in the center. Remove and return with egg noodles.
- You can substitute the onion for 1 teaspoon of dried onion flakes since it's such a small amount.
- Have fresh herbs? Substitute with almost 1 teaspoon each fresh thyme and chopped rosemary.
- Add the white wine if desired, but you can skip it. I like the flavor it adds, same with the lemon juice.
- Egg noodles are more traditional for chicken noodle soup, but you can use whatever noodles you have on hand. If using other noodles, you may need to add more broth as the noodles absorb it.
- Use whatever vegetables you have on hand. Spinach, zucchini, broccoli, cauliflower, etc would be good in this soup.
- Optional toppings: fresh herbs (thyme, parsley, etc), red pepper flakes, parmesan cheese.
