Homemade Chicken/Turkey Noodle Soup
You can do this soup with raw or cooked chicken/turkey. Obviously the amount of stuff you use will be according to the amount of soup you're making. This is how I make it, in a stock pot, to full capacity.
1 litre of Campbell's Chicken Broth
2 carrot sticks, peeled and diced
2 celery sticks, diced
1/3 small onion, minced
salt, pepper to taste
1 or 2 tbsp margarine
3 bay leaves
diced chicken/turkey and the bones
**for raw chicken, I use chicken thighs, clean off the skin and fat, and then dice it up. For previously cooked chicken/turkey, I cut up whatever chunks of meat I have, and toss in the bones from the wings and legs, just taking off the skin first**
In a pot, melt about a tbsp or 2 of margarine, then toss in the carrots and celery. Once they start to soften add in the onion (and raw chicken and bones). Cook until the veggies start to soften and the chicken looks kind of cooked (it will cook thoroughly by the time the soup is ready to eat). Add chicken stock, then fill the chicken stock container with water and add that as well. Toss in bay leaves. If using pre-cooked poultry, add now. Let simmer for about an hour or 2, then make the homemade noodles. Add them to the soup as you cut them. Make sure to drop 1 noodle at a time and gently push down into the liquid or you'll end up with a bunch of noodles stuck together. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If you find it's lacking flavour, you can also add a little chicken OXO. Cook until noodles are done and enjoy :)
