Chicken Noodle Soup With Parsnips and Dill image

Lots of carrots and parsnips give old-favorite chicken noodle soup a sweet savor. To balance this effect, use the optional parsley, which is just slightly bitter - or maybe cilantro

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 quarts canned low sodium chicken broth or 1 1/2 quarts homemade stock
1 onion, chopped
4 carrots, halved lengthwise and cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces
4 parsnips, halved lengthwise and cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces (or maybe butternut squash)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast (about 3)
1 cup wide egg noodles (about 2 ounces)
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large pot, combine the broth, onion, carrots, parsnips, salt, and pepper and bring to a simmer. Add the chicken breasts to the pot and simmer until just done, about 10 minutes. Remove the chicken; bring the soup back to a simmer. When the chicken breasts are cool enough to handle, cut them into bite-size pieces.
  • Meanwhile, stir the noodles into the soup. Simmer until the vegetables are tender and the noodles are done, about 5 minutes. Return the chicken pieces to the pot and then stir in the dill and the parsley.
  • Variations: *Skip the parsnips and raise the number of carrots to eight. *Add one diced turnip to the mix.
  • *Use bone-in chicken breasts and cook them for an additional ten minutes. The extra time in the pot will give the soup even more flavor.
