EASY CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large soup pot, combine 6 cups water with 8 cups chicken broth and 1 Tbsp sea salt. Bring to a boil then add chicken thighs and boil partially covered 20 min while you prep the vegetables, skimming off any foam that rises to the top.
• In a large skillet over medium/high heat, add 2 Tbsp olive oil and sauté onion and celery until softened then transfer to the pot.
• Add pasta and sliced carrots to the soup pot and continue cooking for 15 min at a low boil or until pasta is at the desired softness.
• While pasta is cooking, remove chicken thighs from the pot and use either forks or your hands to shred the chicken, discarding any bones and fat which should come off easily. Return shredded chicken to the pot.
• Season soup with 1 tsp Mrs. Dash (or your favorite seasoning) and more salt to taste if needed. Press in 1 garlic clove. Finally, add 3 Tbsp dill and remove from heat. Enjoy!

GRATED PASTA CHICKEN SOUP

Steps:

• Whisk the whole egg, egg yolk, 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and 1 tablespoon water in a small liquid measuring cup until smooth. Combine the flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a food processor, 2 to 3 pulses. With the food processor running, drizzle in the egg mixture and process until the dough forms into small pebbles that resemble couscous and doesn't stick to your fingers when pinched, 2 to 3 minutes. If the dough is too dry, add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it comes together. If the dough is too wet, add flour, 1 tablespoon at a time.
• Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until a smooth ball forms, 4 to 5 times. Place in a bowl and refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes (see Cook's Note).
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the celery and onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the carrots and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the thyme, garlic, 2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook until the garlic softens, about 1 minute, then stir in the chicken stock and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, 7 to 8 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to low to maintain a simmer. Grate one-third of the dough on the large holes of a box grater directly into the hot broth, tapping the grater on the edge of pot to release the noodles as needed. Stir to prevent the noodles from sticking together and dry the steam on the grater between batches as needed. Repeat with the remaining dough. Simmer until the noodles start to float, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve the soup garnished with the parsley if using.

• About 20 minutes before serving, add the pasta to the slow cooker, cover and cook until tender, about 15 minutes.
