Are you serious with this one-step upgrade for better chicken noodle soup? This recipe barely passes as a recipe, and it’s missing crucial details. Let me show you how to actually upgrade a chicken noodle soup recipe with a proper method and ingredients.
Laxfed’s Ultimate Chicken Noodle Soup
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3 carrots, peeled and sliced
- 3 celery stalks, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 cups chicken stock
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 3 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 8 oz egg noodles
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions:
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions, carrots, and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 8–10 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken stock and add the bay leaves and dried thyme. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20 minutes.
- While the soup is simmering, cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Once the vegetables are tender, remove the bay leaves from the soup. Use an immersion blender to purée about half of the vegetables and stock until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer half of the soup mixture to a blender and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.
- Add the cooked shredded chicken and cooked noodles to the pot. Stir well and let it simmer for another 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste.
- Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve hot.
Wine Pairing:
Pair this comforting chicken noodle soup with a glass of Chardonnay. The buttery notes of a Sonoma-Cutrer Russian River Ranches Chardonnay complement the richness of the soup beautifully, creating a delightful dining experience.
There you have it, a proper upgrade for a comforting and satisfying chicken noodle soup. Now, that’s how it’s done!
