Loved the recipe, I will make this!
When She Said “most of us have had canned chicken noodle soup” and I’m thinking well not most of us 🤷🏼♀️
Thanks for your recipe! I wouldn’t use chicken breast though, but dark meat which is more tender and flavorful. I also would add a teaspoon of Better than Boullion, and a few strands of saffron….
Old fashioned chicken soup my eye. Anyone worth their salt makes home made egg noodles, rolled out thin and dried for long enough so you can cut it with a butcher knife, 3 or so inches long and a half inch wide. Cook them in the soup till tender. What you made was a sort of chicken soup, but not OLD FASHIONED CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP!! I give you an "F".
“One celery stalk and one carrot is all you need.”
Me over here adding five carrots and five celery stalks! More veggies the better!
Very nice
Outstanding cook Love Cooks country!
Sigh….right up to the store bought broth……….
My recipe:
(1) whole chicken
(6) thighs (6) drumstricks
Bag of carrots
Bag of Celery
Bunch of leeks
(2) onions split
(2)parsnips
(2turnips)
Huge bunch of dill which i jam inside the chicken
Salt….salt slowly over 2 hours until you get the right flavor
(12) quart pot
The smell in the house when its cooking……but then again this is a 2-3 hour cook time.
Yum!
Yummmmmy. Lucia
Looks very delicious. 😀 Can you make chicken broth from bouillon cubes?
Not old school wen using store made broth
The metal ladle scraping the enamel was too painful to watch!!!
It looks delicious! I will make it. Thank you!
😄👍👍👍
I love adding the juice from about half a lemon or a whole lime it is so tasty & fresh. Sometimes I Grate in a little ginger.
This is terrible
Well, now I've made the recipe twice, using a pair of chicken breasts. It's delicious! It also doesn't last long enough in the 'fridge for me to worry about freezing it – I end up eating it for lunch 3 or 4 days in a row, it's that good.
Using that stainless steel ladle in the Dutch oven makes me really nervous 😅
omg i just made the chicken soup with you and it is grate i love it 🥰 it is wonderful thank you so much for the delicious recipe love it
Look 😋 yummy Love Joanne Resh 😋
Nice recipe loved watching it ATK😍😍 every time you broke the pasta 🍝 italians cried 😢and you called pasta a noodle 🍜 uncle roger would be like haiyyaaaa😂😂😂😂 Julia and Bridget are my favourite ❤❤
Julia could make a 20 minute video on making toast and I'd still watch. A beautiful woman who can cook is sooooo attractive!
I loved that. "Big gaudy jewelry, bright lipstick, and celery." My lady.
Dude that looks f*cking delicious! Oh my…f*ck yeah
Looks good! My sister and I are looking for a good church style booyah soup. There's a distinctive taste that we just cannot identify nor find on Google. It's a good 'ol fashion recipe. We live in Wisconsin so I think it's of German or Polish heritage.
i found this recipe and i am making it tomorrow first thing
I came across this by accident. I feel like crap right now like, under the weather. I can't wait to make this tonight. I need this soup badly and might just eat it while in a hot shower….nothing like a hot shower and hot soup at the same time…
I also cook my pasta separately, because the pasta does not become mushy and suck all the broth up when there are leftovers.
Also, I put in more carrots and celery, and use 1 onion. I boil
1 whole chicken with a onion, 2 carrots, celery for 45 minutes till
done. Let it cool and take it off the
bone. I use the homemade chicken broth in the soup ! Everyone loves this soup !
I cant have soup without fresh garlic yumm
Hey! …to you both. My wife and I have watched ATK religiously since inception. And now, we're both in throes of a seasonal nastiness–coughing, hacking, and runny-ing our respective noses. But, I have implicite trust this recipe will wrest our weary eyes, noses, throats, and lungs. Well, this recipe together with a healthy dose of NyQuil.
Using the noodles to thicken the broth is brilliant. I used to use the corn starch slurry.
Oh, my. Can't wait to try this!
Great recipe
Use chicken feet for your stock. The gelatinous part will make a very rich stock.
Simmer long with leeks, carrots, celery, and thyme. Adjust seasoning when you strain it and start adding the meat, more carrots, celery, white onion, parsley and the noodles
Very very beautiful
made this tonight fire!!!!
I also use either farfalle or ditalini or ditali for the pasta.
I make my own chicken stock. It's dead easy if you have the remains of a roast chicken.
With a soda on the side
South Mississippi Richard Hidleburg says Thanks.(Gulfport Mississippi)
Yum!
Hi it’s so nice to have found you both on YouTube! I make chicken soup about every 10 days or so. I’m going to try your method. Thank you. Based on what you showed me, I cook my soup too long.
No garlic, no food lol
Sooo delicious, I have made 5 pots of soup so far. Turns out amazing evertime..😋
I can't imagine Chicken Noodle soup without Sage. I also find the best noodles are homemade. They are easy and fast to make. I use a manual pasta machine.
Before adding the broth, deglaze with dry vermouth.
Before serving, stir with whole carrot greens or shunginku then remove to add a fresh note.
Hormones change throughout life and food tolerances and taste buds do too. My father in law LOVES celery.
