Ingredients
- 1 hen or chicken
- 3 stalk celery with leafy tops
- 3 carrots
- 1 large sweet onion (such as Vidalia)
- 1/2 tsp. chopped fresh parsley
- 2 dried bay leaves
- salt
- Pepper
- 1 bag frozen peas
- 8 oz. egg noodles or very thin spaghetti
Directions
- Step 1Place hen in large stockpot. Pour in water to cover (about 8 to 10 cups). Add celery, carrots, garlic, onion, parsley, bay leaves, 2 tablespoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
- Step 2Heat to boiling on high, then immediately reduce heat to maintain simmer. Skim off any foam that rises to surface. Simmer hen 2 hours or until meat comes off bone easily. Transfer hen to large bowl and cool. Strain broth into large bowl; discard vegetables. Chill broth and skim off and discard any fat that rises to top.
- Step 3When hen is cool enough to handle, remove meat from bones, discarding bones and skin, and shred meat into bite-sized pieces.
- Step 4Return broth to pot. Add shredded meat, frozen peas, and egg noodles.
- Step 5Heat soup to boiling on high, then simmer on medium 10 minutes, or until pasta is tender. Add more salt to taste if desired.
