Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 whole cut-up fryer chicken
- 2 carrots diced
- 2 celery stalks diced
- 0.5 medium onion diced (optional)
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp turmeric
- 0.25 tsp white pepper or to taste
- 0.25 tsp ground thyme
- 2 tsp parsley flakes
- 16 oz frozen egg noodles homemade-style
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Place the cut-up chicken in a large pot with 4 quarts of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
- Remove chicken pieces and shred meat from the bones. Set meat aside and return bones to the pot to simmer for another 45 minutes.
- Strain out the bones and add carrots, celery, and onion (if using) to the broth. Stir in salt, turmeric, white pepper, thyme, and parsley. Simmer for 10 minutes.
- Add frozen noodles and shredded chicken to the pot. Cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally until noodles are tender.
- Whisk flour with a little water in a bowl until smooth. Slowly pour into the pot while stirring. Simmer 5 more minutes until slightly thickened. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Notes
Use frozen egg noodles for best texture. Simmer the bones for deeper broth flavor. Add the flour mixture slowly while stirring to avoid lumps.
