Prep Time:20 minutes
Cook Time:1 hour 30 minutes
Total Time:1 hour 50 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4-6 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 large onion quartered
  • 3-4 carrots roughly chopped (for aromatic) & another 3 carrots diced for later
  • 2 stalks celery roughly chopped
  • 1 bunch parsley
  • 8 cups water
  • 2 Tbsp Better Than Bouillon Chicken Base + more to taste
  • 1 Tbsp salt or to taste
  • 1 tsp fresh cracked black pepper
  • 1-2 tsp thyme
  • 1/2 bag egg noodles or your preferred pasta

Instructions

  • Create a Flavorful Base: In a large pot, combine chicken thighs, onion, carrots, celery, parsley, water, 2 Tbsp Better Than Bouillon Chicken Base, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 1-2 hours, or until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
  • Strain and Shred: Remove chicken from the pot and shred it using two forks. Strain the broth, discarding the solids.
  • Reassemble the Soup: Return the shredded chicken to the pot with the strained broth. Add in diced carrots, thyme, your preferred pasta and cook according to package directions.
  • Taste and Adjust: Taste the soup and adjust seasonings as needed. (Salt and pepper)

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, consider roasting the chicken thighs before adding them to the pot.
  • You can add additional vegetables to the soup, such as peas or corn, for extra color and nutrition.
  • For a creamier soup, stir in a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt before serving - i love doing this!
