Stock & Chicken Noodle Soup | Basics with Babish

chicken

🥗Healthier: turkey

💰Cheaper: chicken thighs

Turkey is leaner; chicken thighs are more affordable.

noodles

🥗Healthier: whole grain noodles

💰Cheaper: egg noodles

Whole grain noodles offer more fiber; egg noodles are often cheaper.

Prepare the vegetables by peeling and chopping them as needed.

In a deep soup pot, heat vegetable or canola oil over medium heat.

Add the chicken spines or wings to the pot and brown them.

Add the prepared vegetables, garlic, thyme, parsley, peppercorns, ginger, and lemongrass to the pot.

Pour in enough water to cover the ingredients and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat and let simmer to create the stock.

Once the stock is ready, strain it using a colander to remove solids.

Return the stock to the pot and add boneless, skinless chicken thighs and egg noodles.

Cook until the chicken is done and the noodles are tender.

Serve hot, garnished with fresh dill and scallions.
