A comforting and hearty chicken noodle soup recipe that brings back memories of grandma’s kitchen.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 whole chicken (about 3–4 lbs)
  • 8 cups of water
  • 2 cups of egg noodles
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, combine the whole chicken and water. Bring to a boil.

  3. Reduce heat and let it simmer for about 1 hour, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  4. Remove the chicken from the pot and let it cool. Strain the broth to remove the vegetables and bay leaves.
