Old Fashioned Chicken Noodle Soup

Old Fashioned Chicken Noodle Soup

Ingredients
  

  • Leftover roasted chicken bones and skin
  • 1 stalk celery
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 medium onions, roughly chopped
  • 8 cups low sodium stock
  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp. dry summer savoury
  • ½ tsp. dried sage
  • 1-½ cups dry egg noodles
  • 2 cups roasted chicken breast, shredded

Instructions
 

To prepare the chicken stock:

  • Pre-heat the oven to 375°F.
  • Pull the leftover chicken off the roasted chicken bones and shred into bite-size pieces; set aside to add at the end.
  • Lay the bones and skin, from two roasted chickens, on a baking sheet; place in the pre-heated oven; roast until brown; about 45 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and add the roasted bones to a dutch oven or covered roasting pan; cover with 10 cups of water, chicken stock or a combination of both.
  • Add a celery stalk, 3 cloves crushed garlic and a roughly chopped onion to the pot.
  • Reduce oven to 325°F; place the covered pot or roasting pan in the oven and roast for 2 hours.
  • Remove from the oven and let the stock sit and cool to room temperature before straining it through a colander or sieve; place in an airtight contanier; place in the refrigerator and chill for a couple of hours or overnight.
  • When it solidifies at the top, remove from the refrigerator; this should produce about 8 cups of stock.

How to prepare the stock:

  • Add the stock to a large pot along with the carrots, celery, salt and pepper; bring to a very slow simmer.
  • Crush the dried savoury and sage together by rubbing with your hands or with a mortar and pestle.
  • Add the ground herbs to the stock; simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Add the dry noodles to the soup; simmer for 10 -15 minutes longer until the noodles are tender.
  • Add the shredded chicken in the last few minutes of cooking time.
