CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP RECEIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Pour 10 cups of water into a large soup pot over high heat with the leek, halved carrot, 3-inch piece of ginger, and peppercorns.
• Bring to a boil, turn heat to medium-low, and place chicken breasts into the broth
• Cover the pot with a lid and simmer the mixture until the chicken is cooked through and tender, 20 to 30 minutes.
• While broth is simmering, whisk flour and salt together in a bowl; beat in the eggs, butter, and enough milk to make a stiff but workable dough.
• Knead the dough in the bowl until smooth and slightly springy, about 5 minutes; transfer to a bowl, cover with a cloth, and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
• Roll the noodle dough out on a floured surface to desired thickness (1/4- to 1/8-inch thick); cut into strips.
• Remove chicken breasts, transfer them to a plate, and allow to cool. When cool, remove the bones and shred the meat with a fork.
• Strain and retain the broth; discard spent leek, halved carrot, ginger chunk, and peppercorns.
• Place strained broth into a large soup pot, bring to a boil, and reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in bouillon cubes, 3 tablespoons of chopped ginger, 3/4 cup sliced carrots, and celery until the bouillon has dissolved. Simmer until the carrots are tender, about 30 minutes.
• Gently stir in the noodles, a few at a time. Return broth to a simmer and cook until the noodles are tender, about 10 minutes.
• Whisk cornstarch and 1/4 cup of water until smooth; stir half the mixture into the soup and simmer until thickened, about 3 minutes. If thicker soup is desired, stir in remaining cornstarch mixture. Mix in the chicken to serve.

Steps:

• Cook noodles in salted water until al dente, or slightly under-cooked by 2 minutes. Set aside.
• Meanwhile heat oil in a large skillet. Add garlic and cook on medium heat until golden, about 1 minute.
• Add the broccoli and a little salt, sauté and cover the broccoli for about 3 minutes on medium heat until the broccoli begins to soften. Set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly spray a 9 x 12 casserole dish with cooking spray.
• In a large pot, heat butter over medium-low heat, when melted add the shallot and cook until soft, 2-3 minutes.
• Add the flour and a pinch of salt and stir well, cooking an additional 2-3 minutes on medium-low heat. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth until well combined over medium heat; whisk well for 30 seconds, then add the milk and bring to a boil. Simmer on medium heat, mixing occasionally until it thickens (about 6-7 minutes).
• Remove from heat and add reduced fat sharp cheddar and 1 tablespoon of the parmesan cheese; mix well until the cheese melts.
• Add the shredded chicken, noodles and broccoli to the sauce and mix well until evenly coated.
• Pour into a casserole dish and top with Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs.
• Spray a little more cooking spray on top and bake for about 20 - 25 minutes. Place the casserole under the broiler a few minutes to get the crumbs crisp and golden (careful not to burn). Divide in 6 equal portions.
