Cumin Rubbed Chicken Noodle Soup Recipes

SUNNY'S CUMIN-RUBBED CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP

Steps:

• Sprinkle the chicken generously all over with salt, pepper and cumin. Let rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
• Add the olive oil to a soup pot on medium-high heat. When the oil begins to swirl, add the chicken skin-side down. Cook, undisturbed, until a peek beneath reveals a golden crust, about 5 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate and continue. (The goal here is to just get flavor and fat from the chicken, not cook it.)
• Add the jalapenos, onions and a pinch of salt to the pot. Cook, moving the veggies around until they become golden in spots, about 4 minutes, then add the sofrito and soup base and bring to a bubble. Remove the skin from the chicken and discard. Add the chicken back to the pot and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add 4 cups water to the pot and bring to a bubble again. Lower to a simmer and let cook for 15 minutes.
• Add the egg noodles and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Just before serving add the cilantro and stir. Divide into 4 bowls, giving each a piece of chicken.

CUMIN GET IT CHICKEN SOUP

Steps:

• In a large pot, heat half of the oil over medium heat. Add drumsticks, turn and brown on all sides, approximately 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat remaining oil in frying pan over medium heat. Add carrots, celery, onion and garlic. Saute until slightly soft, about 5 minutes. Add cumin and chilli powder, stir to coat vegetables and let spices toast for a couple of minutes and turn off heat.
• In chicken pot, add 6 cups of broth and be sure to scrape any chicken bits from the bottom of the pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer drumsticks for 10 minutes. Remove chicken with tongs to cool and skim any foam off the top of the broth.
• Add remaining 2 cups of broth to frying pan, to help spices release from the pan. Scrape bottom of pan and pour contents into large pot. Add orzo and zucchini and bring to a simmer for 10 minutes.
• Remove chicken meat from drumstick bones. Be sure to remove the hard rubbery bits that can be found at the end of the tendons. Cut meat into large chunks. Add meat and corn to soup and simmer until heated through and orzo is cooked to your liking.
• Add salt and pepper if you prefer but we found that it really didn't need it.
