CHINESE EGG NOODLE SOUP

Steps:

• Bring broth to a simmer in a 3- to 4-quart saucepan. Add chicken; simmer gently until cooked through, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Salt generously, add egg noodles, and cook until al dente, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and divide noodles among 4 soup bowls.
• Remove chicken from broth and set aside to cool slightly. Bring broth to a boil, add broccoli, and cook until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Using a skimmer or slotted spoon, lift out broccoli and divide among soup bowls.
• Slice chicken and divide among bowls. Ladle broth into bowls, and top each serving with a poached egg and some hot sauce, if desired.

CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP WITH EGG NOODLES

Steps:

• Combine chicken and chicken broth in a large, heavy pot over medium-high heat; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover partially, and simmer until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken with tongs and transfer to a large bowl. Allow chicken and broth to cool slightly.
• Remove skin and bones from cooled chicken and discard. Cut chicken meat into bite-sized pieces. Skim fat off the top of the cooled broth and discard.
• Return chicken broth to a simmer. Add carrots, celery, and onion to the broth and simmer until vegetables soften, about 8 minutes. Stir in chicken, egg noodles, parsley, and lemon juice and simmer until noodles are tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
