Chicken Noodle Soup
12-Feb-2008
Last Sunday I roasted a chicken and it was the perfect main dish on that wintry day. I cleaned the chicken from the bones for storage and then saved the roasted bones and the neck that had been part of the giblets pack.
Today, I made a simple chicken stock with the bones, chunks of sweet onion and celery, garlic, and I tossed in a handful of green beans I had in the fridge for a little additional flavor. Since the chicken had been roasted with lots of rosemary even the bones were full of that flavor so I opted not to add any other herbs or flavorings at this point. I covered the everything with water and then set it so simmer for about 3 hours.
I strained the stock – removing all the solids. I kept some for today’s soup and divided the rest and froze it for use another day.
The stock for today was transferred to a clean saucepan, and then I added more chunks of onion, one hot pepper, several sprigs of sage, salt and pepper. Next in were noodles. I let the noodles boil for about 10 minutes and then added lots of chicken meat. I continued heating until the noodles were completely cooked and the chicken was hot. I found I needed a bit more salt at this point.
I scooped the soup into a bowl, inhaled the sage saturated steam and then began to eat a very satisfying lunch.

It\’s remind me of Ramen , a japanese tradicional meal with soup and noodles. I love it. In fact i like most of the chinese recipes i have tried so far. Do you like asian cookery ?P.D: the ramen i most commonly eat, its the instantaneous, like "Maru-Chan" and other alike, but the home made its the best! Greetings!
Hi Chris,
In some ways it\’s like ramen – they both have noodles and broth! ;-) I do like Asian food and go through phases where I cook a lot of it. But it\’s been a while since I\’ve really foucsed on it. Hmmm. Now you\’ve got me thinking….
Perfection! Sounds soooo good! Chicken noodle soup is one of my fav meals!
Stylin: definitely comfort food!
