Source of Recipe

From "Scratch" by Maria Rodale


Recipe Introduction

"This is my mother's traditional recipe, which is simple and delicious. If I'm feeling particularly lazy, I just have the plain stock with a little shredded chicken and egg noodles in it."

List of Ingredients

◦  1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
◦  1 cup chopped onion
◦  ½ cup chopped celery
◦  ½ cup chopped carrot
◦  Salt
◦  6 cups chicken stock, store-bought or homemade
◦  1½ cups egg noodles
◦  1½ cups shredded cooked chicken
◦  ¼ cup chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
◦  Freshly ground black pepper


Recipe

In a large soup pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, carrot, and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, for 8 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.

Add the stock and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, partially cover, and cook for about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, cook the noodles according to package directions. Drain.

Add the chicken and noodles to the soup and cook for 5 minutes to warm through. Stir in the parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle into bowls to serve.
