The weather is changing! Cold and Flu season has started! When you don't feel well, Chicken soup is what's for dinner! Don't eat that canned stuff (YUCK! read the label!). Instead make this super quick, super simple, super delicious chicken soup!
My kids love noodles & dumplings! Can you tell from those pictures?! Add as many or as little as you like!
Simple Chicken Noodle (or Dumpling) Soup
INGREDIENTS:
1 large rotisserie chicken, meat removed--watch for bones!!!
1 cup carrots, chopped or baby carrots, whole
1 cup celery, chopped
1 cup onion, chopped
3, 32 oz. containers of all natural unsalted chicken stock or 12 cups homemade stock
(remember! stock has more flavor than broth!)
dried parsley
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
cooked egg noodles or dumplings (recipe below)
INSTRUCTIONS:
Put chicken meat, carrots, celery, onions and stock in a large dutch oven or pot.
Bring to a boil.
Stir in parsley, about a tablespoon (I just sprinkle it over the top without measuring).
Cover pot, turn heat to low, and simmer about 20 minutes, or until vegetables are very soft. (sometimes I simmer it for hours, do what works for you!)
Add salt & pepper to taste.
When vegetables are soft, add the noodles to the soup and serve, or add dumplings (recipe below).
Dumplings
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 cup very warm water
INSTRUCTIONS:
Mix everything together to form a thick batter.
Dip a teaspoon into the soup (keeps batter from sticking to the spoon!).
Drop teaspoon sized dumplings into the soup. (be sure to drop them evenly around the pot. I drop the whole bowl of dumpling batter into the pot. Add as many or as little as you like!)
DO NOT STIR!!!! DO NOT STIR!!! DO NOT STIR!!! (or you will have a BIG mess!)
Put the lid on the pot and let dumplings simmer gently in the soup for at least 20-25 minutes until they are cooked all the way through. (Remember, the first ones you put in have been cooking longer, so be sure to give them ALL enough time to cook!)
Enjoy!
