Flavorful homemade chicken soup with aromatic herbs and a hint of lemongrass - comforting and healing.
Ingredients:
  • 1 (4 pound) whole chicken, cut into pieces
  • 1 gallon water
  • 1 pound whole carrots
  • 0.66666668653488 bunch celery, trimmed
  • 1 large onion, peeled and halved
  • 3 tablespoons chopped lemongrass
  • 3 large bay leaves
  • 10 whole black peppercorns
  • 1 pound carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 0.33333334326744 bunch celery with leaves, sliced, divided
  • 0.25 cup chicken soup base
  • 1 (8 ounce) package dry egg noodles
Instructions:
  • In a large stockpot, combine chicken with water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes, occasionally skimming fat. Add whole carrots, celery, onion, lemongrass, bay leaves, and peppercorns. Cover and simmer for 1 hour until chicken is cooked through. Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Place the chicken on a serving platter and allow it to cool slightly. Then, strain the stock to separate the liquid from the solids, discarding the solids.
  • In the pot with strained stock, bring to a boil over high heat with sliced carrots, sliced celery (excluding leaves), and chicken base. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer until carrots are tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Peel off and discard skin from the cooled chicken, then chop the meat into bite-sized pieces.
  • Simmer noodles and celery leaves until noodles are perfectly al dente, about 10 minutes. Add chicken and cook until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes.
