Yield 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 10

Bone In Chicken Noodle Soup
1/2 capon or 4-6 pieces bone in chicken, cut up
2 tabl olive oil
1 large onion
3-4 carrots
3 stalks celery
4 garlic cloves
5 bay leaves
salt & pepper
noodles (gluten free or regular- any shape)

Steps:

Put oil in a large pot over medium heat. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Place chicken in the pot, skin side down. Sprinkle with salt and let it brown, undisturbed. While chicken is browning, cut onion and carrots and celery into 1/2" chunks. Peel the garlic and smash with a knife. Add the vegetables to the browned chicken and cook for a few minutes. Add 8 cups of water and scrape the browned bits from the bottom of the pan into the mixture. Add the bay leaves and some salt and pepper. The broth will be a rich brown color. Cook until the chicken is easily removed from the bone. Bring the broth up to a rolling boil and add the noodles. You may need to add more water to the pot as the noodles soak up alot. Add chopped celery leaves if you have any. Take out the bay leaves. Makes about 6-8 servings.
