I went to bed last night knowing that this morning was not going to be good. Sneezy, coughy achy like I haven't felt in a very long time. Homemade Chicken Soup was definitely in need. Lucky for me all I needed was in the freezer and pantry. In two hours I had a delicious warm bowl of chicken soup to nurse what ails me. Make a pot for yourself, even if you're not sick!
Chicken Soup
2 lbs. Chicken Thighs (bone in, skin on)
1 12oz. bag frozen diced mirepoix vegetables (carrots, onion, celery)
1 qt chicken stock or broth
1 garlic clove, peeled and cut in half (optional)
2 slices peeled fresh ginger 1/4" thick each (optional)
2-3 oz. favorite soup noodle (I use Kluski)
salt and pepper to taste
In a soup pot or dutch oven put all ingredients except for the noodles. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 1 1/2 hours, until chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken, ginger and garlic. Adjust broth seasoning for salt and pepper. If you wish, a tablespoon of soy sauce will enrich the stock. Add the noodles to the broth and bring to a boil. Strip the chicken meat from the bones and add back to the pot. When the noodles are cooked the soup is ready to eat. Enjoy!
Note: If you like, mince the ginger and returned it to the pot. It adds a great flavor and bite.
