Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion diced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 large carrots chopped
- 1 rib celery chopped
- 6 bone-in skinless chicken thighs or 8 legs
- 2 quarts chicken stock or broth
- 1-2 chicken bouillon cubes crushed, adjust to your tastes
- 7 oz green beans chopped in thirds
- ¾ cup corn kernels
- 4 oz baby spinach leaves
- ½ quart water as needed
- 6 oz vermicelli or egg noodles or angel hair pasta
- 1 pinch salt to taste
- 1 pinch cracked pepper to taste
- ¼ cup fresh parsley finely chopped
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook onion for 2 minutes, then add garlic, celery and carrots; cook for 5 minutes.
- Add the chicken thighs, broth (stock), crushed bouillon, green beans and corn kernels. Top up with water if needed to cover all of the ingredients.
- Increase heat and bring to a boil for about 4 minutes. Reduce heat, partially cover the pot with a lid, and allow to simmer for 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Transfer chicken to a plate and shred the meat; discard the bones.
- Add the chicken back into the soup along with the noodles. Cover and cook for 6-8 minutes while stirring occasionally to separate noodles.
- Stir in the spinach leaves and allow to wilt in the soup (about 3 minutes, pressing leaves into the liquid with the tip of a wooden spoon). Mix parsley through. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Serve warm.
