A whole chicken from the grocer costs less than four chicken breasts. Did you know that?<\/em><\/p>\n I didn’t know that, and I was pleasantly surprised when I bought a completely gutted and ready-to-go chicken for a batch of chicken soup I made recently.<\/p>\n I’m not crazy about canned chicken soup. In fact, I don’t like it at all. That’s why I normally use store-bought stock to make my soups.<\/p>\n But on this day I was feeling adventurous. On this day I wanted to boil Ms. Cockadoodledoo down to the bones instead.\u00a0It was very rewarding to actually SEE the flavor floating in the stock.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n By the way, stock <\/em><\/strong>is made by boiling bones, and broth <\/em><\/strong>is made by boiling meat. The stock versus broth topic seems like it could easily fall into a heated culinary debate about how to make sauce<\/a><\/strong> properly, so I won’t get into too much detail here. My only point is that I’m calling this stock, because I boiled bones.<\/p>\n The recipe for chicken and noodles on the Pioneer Woman<\/a><\/strong> looked just about right, so I chose to follow that one relatively close. Here’s the abridged\/modified version.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ingredients<\/strong>:<\/p>\n *1 whole chicken<\/p>\n *1 yellow onion, chopped<\/p>\n *3 large carrots, chopped<\/p>\n *3 large celery sticks, chopped<\/p>\n *1tbsp\u00a0dried Italian seasoning (parsley, oregeno, etc.)<\/p>\n *1 tbsp. dried thyme<\/p>\n *salt and pepper to taste<\/p>\n *1 package egg noodles<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Directions:<\/strong><\/p>\n 1. Boil your chicken for 30 minutes in four quarts of water.<\/p>\n 2. Remove chicken from water.<\/p>\n 3. Use a fork (or fingers) to take the meat from the bone. Return the bones to the bubbling water and boil for 45 minutes.<\/p>\n 4. Remove ALL bones from water. (I ran the stock through a strainer to be sure.)<\/p>\n 5. Add your mirepoix to the bubbling water. Mirepoix = one onion, three carrots, and three pieces of celery (chopped).<\/p>\n 6. Add the spices of your choosing (I chose Italian seasoning, thyme, salt, and pepper, but I don’t think you can ever go wrong. Use the spices you have on hand and prefer with your chicken soup.)<\/p>\n 7. Return meat and add noodles to stockpot and simmer for 10 minutes.<\/p>\n 8. Eat. ps – I am not ashamed that I ate THREE rolls that came out of can! \ud83d\ude42 A pregnant lady knows what she wants.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A whole chicken from the grocer costs less than four chicken breasts.
