I think its been proven somewhere that chicken soup cures colds (at least that’s what I’ve heard) and being that I’ve recently been sick and the weather in Los Angeles is looking more like winter and less like summer – I decided to make a big batch and I’m feeling better already.
One note, this recipe makes a lot so if you don’t want to be eating soup for several days, half it.
This is the soup base. I like to brown my chicken while I’m slicing the veggies.
Add the celery, carrot and onions along with the stock and bay leaves to the browned chicken being sure to scrape up the brown bits on the bottom – that’s where all the flavor is!
Boil it up!
Because I made a big batch of soup, I cooked my noodles separately and add them into the individual bowls but if you plan to serve it all, just add them directly into the soup.
much love!
