Old-Fashioned Chicken (Soaked) Noodle Soup Recipe
Recipe Description:
This recipe tastes just like the one my great grandmother used to make, except it uses soaked noodles! Every bite reminds me of learning how to make this soup with her when I was a child.
Recipe
Instructions:
In a heavy-bottomed, large soup pot, melt butter on low heat and saute onions, carrots and celery until tender. Add in thyme and saute for another minute.
Slowly pour in chicken stock and bring to a boil. Add in chicken pieces and return to a boil.
Add salt to taste.
Once boiling again, slowly drop in noodles by the handful, carefully stirring to prevent them from sticking together.
Reduce heat slightly and cook for 10-15 minutes.
This is a large batch of soup and freezes well, despite the noodles being homemade. Mind you, the noodles will be much softer after freezing, but we never seemed to mind as kids. Grandma always served this soup over mashed potatoes like a gravy.
My kids love this soup and beg me to make it; definitely kid-friendly. It's also great for putting in a thermos for a packed lunch.
