Rachel Ballinger :
Chicken Noodle Soup
Ingredients:
About 5 lb whole chicken
4 carrots, sliced
1 onion, chopped
4 celery stalks, diced
4 tbsp butter
16 oz egg noodles
Salt
Black Pepper
Garlic Powder
Dried Parsley (fresh is awesome if you have it on hand)
Instructions:
Season the chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Simmer until chicken is tender. Remove chicken from broth and debone. Strain the broth and save it.
Sauté carrots, onion, and celery in butter in a big pot for a couple minutes. Cover veggies with water and simmer until mostly soft. Add the broth to the pot, and bring back to a simmer. Add the noodles and deboned chicken. Season to taste with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and parsley. Add additional water if necessary. Simmer till the veggies and noodles are tender. Serve with saltine crackers if desired.
Notes:
-Sometimes I sauté the carrots, onion, and celery in some butter first before adding the water.
-You can cook the chicken in the instant pot for an hour. The broth is extra rich, almost bone broth.
-You can use rotisserie chicken and canned broth to speed up the process.
