I always start by sauteing onion and garlic in a little olive oil. Then I add sliced carrot, sliced celery and chopped chicken. Once ready I add chicken bone broth, then water, celery seed, bay leaves, a little thyme, fresh ground black pepper and salt. If need be I add HerbOx chicken bouillon to add more flavor. When I ate carbs I would cook egg noodles til they were a firm al dente and then strain and add to the broth and simmer until soft. I did not really follow a recipe, I just cooked and seasoned it by taste.
Most bouillon has MSG in it, using one of the almost 2 dozen names for it. I get migraines when I eat msg, so I avoid it, and therefore, I don't use bouillon.Mine is similar to Sentry's. I salute chicken in bite sized pieces. I always use chicken bouillon for more chicken taste. Just don't use salt if you use bouillon though as it is mostly salt.
Pretty much how Patsy makes it. Sometimes, though, I'll make the broth and the chicken. Pour it over cooked noodles. I don't like mushy noodles. How about chicken and dumplings?
There is MSG in bouillon for sure, but there is also MSG that occurs naturally in any type of meat that is cooked in a broth. It's a naturally occurring amino when meat, especially poultry, is boiled or par boiled. I use HerbOx because they don't add any extra. But of course adding it will still add more MSG.
You know this is in the MAKING SOAP area. I'll check back just to see comments then move it to Cooking & Recipes soon.
The key to really good chicken soup is the stock. I brown the chicken in small slabs before it is cubed. Brown it well because that caramelized meat is where the flavor comes from.
I drain the used fat into another pan to sauté the veggies and add water and salt to the original pan. Cube the chicken and simmer in the water with egg noodles. When the veggies are just starting to soften add them to the pot without the grease. Add your garlic, pepper, thyme, sage and other spices and simmer until it is the way you like it.
Is it bad that my secrete to good chicken noodle is Campbells? LOLIt is getting to be flu and cold season. I make chicken noodle soup but not as good as some do. What is your secret to good chicken noodle soup?
It was a favorite of mine when I was a kid. Everything we had at home was from scratch, including chicken noodle soup with homemade noodles and I thought Campbells was better. Silly me! I'm over it now.Is it bad that my secrete to good chicken noodle is Campbells? LOL
Healthwise I know homemade soup I make is better for me. But when I want soup in 30 min a can of chicken noodle is just so easy and when I'm sick there is no way in hell I'm making home made soup. :-(It was a favorite of mine when I was a kid.

I like to get a bowl of Vietnamese pho when I have a head cold. Add some Siracha and then the nose blowing begins.I Smoke or Grill a whole chicken with SW seasonings, then debone it, cut it up and set the meat aside in the fridge. I eat the crispy skin right there. Simmer Bones for 6-10 hrs. Great Flavor and Great Medicine for sickness. Next day. In a Pot I, simmer a Trinity with a little Butter. Then Garlic. For some reason, if Im sick I pile in the Garlic. Pour in Bone broth with meat. Simmer for 3 hrs. Little Sage, Thyme, Oregano, black pepper. Sometimes I even put Dried Chiles in for Heat and flavor or a little liquid smoke. I keep Vegie Stock around and add for taste. I make a pot of this and eat it for 7 days with Butter Crackers(Keebler Town House, No Ritz, Boycotting). It is Better each day. Ms Chen Swears that Bone Broth is Medicine.
PS. If Im really sick, I go to my Fave Chinese place and order Coconut Currie Noodle Soup. Great for sinus problems.
