A clear savory broth built from aromatic vegetables and simmered chicken.

Classic home-style chicken noodle soup.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, peeled and diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 8 cups low-sodium chicken stock
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 6 oz egg noodles
  • 2 tbsp chopped dill or parsley
  • Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste

Method

  1. Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium and sweat onion, carrot, and celery until softened, 8 to 10 minutes.
  2. Add chicken and stock, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook until the chicken is just done, 20 to 25 minutes.
  3. Transfer chicken to a board, shred into bite-size pieces, and return it to the broth.
  4. Add noodles and simmer until tender, stopping just before they turn soft.
  5. Season to taste with salt and pepper, stir in herbs, and serve steaming hot.

Layered broth building

Why it works: Sweating vegetables first extracts soluble flavor compounds.

Why this recipe uses it: It yields deeper flavor than simply boiling everything together.

Layered salting and staged reduction

Why it works: Incremental seasoning and evaporation increase perceived depth without oversalting late.

Why this recipe uses it: Broth-forward dishes need flavor concentration before final texture adjustment.
