Chicken Soup for Dummies image

Not much to say...if you're soup impaired (like me), this is simple and good. I came up with this by using ideas from many different recipes and only adding ingredients my family likes.

Categories     Chicken Thigh & Leg

Time 1h45m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 cups water
4 lbs chicken thighs or 4 lbs chicken drumsticks, skin on
1 lb baby carrots
2 medium onions, peeled & quartered
3 -4 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4-1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup fresh parsley or 1 tablespoon parsley flakes
3 -4 chicken bouillon cubes
2 cups small shell pasta, uncooked (or any small pasta)

Steps:

  • Place chicken and water in stock pot and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce to a simmer and add remaining ingredients EXCEPT PASTA; cover.
  • Simmer for 45 minutes and then remove chicken to a plate.
  • Add pasta to broth and bring back to a boil; reduce to low/med heat, do not cover; let cook for about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, when chicken is cool enough to handle, remove skin and discard; pull bite sized pieces of chicken from bones and add back to soup, discarding bones.
  • By this time, your pasta should be tender; if not, allow to simmer a few more minutes.
  • Check to see if you need more salt and/or pepper and then serve.
