SIMPLE CHICKEN SOUP WITH NOODLES OR RICE



Simple Chicken Soup with Noodles or Rice image

I keep noodles and rice separate from my soup unless I am serving the whole pot at a single meal, to avoid the noodle or rice from bloating and becoming overcooked and mushy in texture. Chicken-vegetable soup? Skip both and simply add diced tomatoes and chopped zucchini or drained cannellini/white beans and spinach to your vegetable preparation.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 carrots, peeled
2 ribs celery with leafy tops
1 large or 2 small onions, peeled
1 leek, cleaned
Salt and pepper
2 large cloves garlic, chopped, optional
4 cups cooked chicken (bite-sized pieces or pulled meat)
3 quarts chicken stock
8 ounces egg noodles, medium, wide or thin, OR 1 cup white or brown rice
Neutral oil, for drizzling
1 small lemon
Fresh herbs, such as:
1/2 cup dill and parsley, finely chopped
Chiffonade (very thinly sliced) of tarragon or basil
Combined finely chopped parsley and mint

Steps:

  • Heat a soup pot over medium to medium-high heat, add olive oil, 2 turns of the pan. Add carrots, celery, onion, leeks-chop these items, then drop into the soup pot as you work, chopping as close as possible to the pot itself. (Use a bench scraper to move and scoop the vegetables form the cutting board to pot.) Add salt and pepper and partially cover the pot, reduce heat to medium and cook 10 minutes to soften, stirring every 2 minutes or so. Add garlic, stir, then add chicken and stock and heat to low boil. Simmer until ready to serve or while you prepare noodles or rice.
  • Prepare either noodles or rice to package directions and cook separately from the soup. Add a drizzle of neutral oil to noodles once cooked to keep them from sticking if stored.
  • Finish soup with juice of 1 small lemon, halved and squeezed cut-side up to keep seeds with lemon. Stir in dill and parsley or herbs of choice.
  • Place about 1/2 cup rice or 3/4 cup noodles in a bowl and top with ladles of soup.

CHICKEN SOUP WITH RICE OR NOODLES



Chicken Soup With Rice or Noodles image

I adapted this from a WW cookbook for my parents who always get chicken with rice soup. It is best when made totally from scratch and the chicken is cooked in a crock-pot but can be made using a store roasted chicken. I have also used red leaf lettuce and spinach in place of the escarole.

Categories     Whole Chicken

Time 4h30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 (3 -4 lb) chicken
1 (48 ounce) can chicken broth (I use Swanson's low fat)
1 stalk celery
1 carrot
1 pinch saffron
1 pinch sage
1 pinch thyme
1 bay leaf
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 -3 carrots, coarsely grated
2 stalks celery, thinly sliced
2/3 cup short-grain rice or 2 cups Reames frozen noodles
1 head escarole, washed and coarsely chopped
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Remove excess fat and giblets from the chicken and discard.
  • In a 5-qt. crock-pot combine the chicken broth, chicken, celery, carrot, saffron, sage, thyme, bay leaf and kosher salt.
  • Cook on high for 4-5 hours or until the chicken falls off the bone. Remove the chicken and cool; debone and cut into bite-sized pieces.
  • Strain the broth through a sieve lined with 2 paper towels, this removes the sediment and some of the fat. This can be done a day ahead and more fat can be removed from the top of the chilled broth.
  • In a large sauce pan heat the oil over medium-high heat, saute the onion, carrots and celery until the onion is transulent.
  • Add the strained broth and bring to a boil.
  • Add the rice or noodles and simmer covered for 15 minutes.
  • Stir in the chicken, cover; simmer until the rice/noodles are tender and the chicken is heated through.
  • Remove from heat and add the escarole; cover and set aside until the escarole wilts, about 2 minutes.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.
