Winter is definitely here and I suddenly have an absolutely BRUTAL flu. The best medicine for this is by far the old chicken soup! And better yet, its very easy to add some noodles to it. Now you have a bowl full of delicious chicken broth, yummy noodles, nutritious veggies, and of course CHICKEN.
Ingredients (serves 2 people):
300g chicken thigh fillet - diced into bite size pieces
1 brown onion - finely chopped
2 carrots - peeled and chopped into bite size pieces
1 celery stick - diced into bite size pieces
4 garlic cloves - finely chopped
3 tbs fresh parsley stems - finely chopped
8 cups of water
1/2 tsp whole black peppercorns
Salt to taste
1 tbs of vegetable cooking oil
1 bay leaf
100g egg noodles
1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves - coarsely chopped (for garnishing)
Place the cooking oil into a large sauce pan on medium heat. Wait for the oil to heat up and add the onions and the garlic. Saute for about 4 minutes. Now add the chicken, carrots, parsley stems, black peppercorns, bay leaf, and water. Bring to boil and reduce the heat to low. Cover with lid and leave to cook for about 40 minutes.
After the 40 minutes add the noodles and the celery. Cook for a further 3 minutes, add salt to taste, and serve immediately while it's still piping hot. Garnish with parsley leaves. Be careful not to burn your tongue; too late for me.
Keep warm this winter with this great meal which is sure to help kick the crap out of your flu.
