Herbed Chicken Noodle Soup
Description
This soup begins by boiling chicken drumsticks in salted water to cook the meat, which is then removed from the bones and sliced. Fresh water is added to a pot along with the chicken pieces, diced potatoes, and pasta, brought to a boil and simmered until tender. Seasonings of salt and freshly ground black pepper season the broth.
Separately, carrots and garlic are sautéed in neutral oil until softened and lightly browned, then green onions are added. This vegetable mixture is incorporated into the soup along with freshly chopped dill, which enhances the broth with bright, herbal notes. The soup is simmered a final time to blend flavors before serving.
The result is a balanced soup combining soft textures from potatoes and pasta with herb-infused chicken broth and vegetables. This soup provides a simple, homey meal with fresh herb flavor.
