Basic Chicken Stock &Chicken Noodle Soup
Makes 1.2 litres or 5 cups
This is pretty basic, but results in a delicious well flavoured stock that you can use as is or freeze for up to six months.
1 spent chicken carcass, with some meat left on
1 onion, no need to peel (just trim the ends)
1 carrot, no need to peel (just wash)
2 celery stocks, with the leaves
the white part of 2 leeks
3 sprigs parsley
3 sprigs thyme
about 10 peppercorns
1 tsp sea salt
Put the chicken into a large saucepan. Add about 2 litres of cold water. Add the peppercorns and salt. Bring to the boil and then reduce the temperature and simmer for about 2 hours. Chop all of the vegetables coarsely. add to the pot along with the parsley and thyme. Bring back to a simmer and simmer for about 35 to 40 minutes. Strain and place, tightly covered in the refrigerator. Leave overnight. Any fat will harden and float to the top. You can remove this and discard. Keep tightly covered and use the stock within the week, otherwise freeze.
Note – if you don’t have a spent chicken carcass, you may use raw chicken backs, wings and necks, about 4 pounds. You will need to skim any scum which rises to the top during the first two hours of cooking and discard.
1 medium onion, peeled and chopped
1 stalk of celery, peeled and chopped
1 carrot, peeled and sliced
1 fat clove of garlic, peeled and minced
5 cups hot chicken stock
1 cup of dried pasta noodles
1/4 tsp basil
1/4 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp dried parsley
salt and black pepper to taste
1 cup cooked and shredded chicken meat
Melt the butter in a large saucepan. Add the vegetables. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are just tender. Add the garlic and cook for about a minute longer. Pour in the chicken stock, basil, oregano and parsley. Bring to the boil, then simmer for about 10 minutes. Add the noodles and chicken, along with your choice of frozen optional vegetable. Cook for about 10 minutes longer. The noodles should be quite tender. Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper. Serve hot.
*Optional Homemade Noodles* If you are feeling really keen
186g of flour (1 1/4 cups)
pinch salt
1 egg, beaten
60ml milk (1/4 cup)
1/2 TBS butter
Sift together the flour and salt. Add the beaten egg, milk and butter. Knead the dough until smooth. Cover and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Roll out on a lightly floured surface to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into desired strips and lengths Seperate and allow to air dry. Two hours is my preference, but you can successfully use them after about half an hour. Add to the soup along with the broth. They will take about 20 minutes to cook.
