Chicken Soup

Chicken soup is a comforting classic made with tender chicken, carrots, onions, and noodles simmered in a savoury broth. Light yet nourishing, it’s seasoned simply with salt and Vegeta, making it perfect for cold days, recovery meals, or a soothing family supper served with fresh bread.

Ingredients

Ingredients

• Chicken meat (about 500–700 g, on the bone or boneless)
• 2–3 carrots, sliced
• 1–2 heads spring onions (or 1 medium onion), finely chopped
• Noodles (amount to taste)
• Vegeta, to taste
• Salt, to taste
• Water (enough to cover the chicken)

Instructions

Cook the chicken

1. Place the chicken in a large pot and cover with water.
2. Add a pinch of salt and bring to the boil.
3. Simmer until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

Prepare the chicken

1. Remove the chicken from the soup, cut or shred it into small pieces, and return it to the pot.

Add the vegetables

1. Add the sliced carrots and finely chopped onions to the soup.
2. Simmer until the vegetables are soft.

Add noodles and seasoning

1. Stir in the noodles and cook according to the packet instructions.
2. Add Vegeta and adjust salt to taste.

Serve

1. Serve hot, on its own or with fresh bread.

Notes

• For a richer broth, use chicken on the bone.
• Add celery, parsley root, or a bay leaf for extra depth of flavour.
• This soup is ideal for freezing without the noodles - add them fresh when reheating.
