Nutritious Chicken Noodle Soup<\/strong><\/p>\nThis hearty soup uses tender chicken thighs and makes a simple, nutritious meal for lunch or dinner.<\/p>\n
Servings: 6<\/p>\n
6 boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 1 1\/4 lb\/565 g)
8 cups (2 L) water
2 sprigs fresh parsley
1 onion, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup (250 mL) whole grain egg noodles
1 cup (250 mL) frozen peas
1\/4 cup (60 mL) grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp (30 mL) chopped fresh basil or parsley
Hot pepper sauce (optional)<\/p>\n
In a soup pot or Dutch oven, bring water, parsley, onion, carrot, garlic and trimmed chicken thighs to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and spoon off any foam that forms on top. Cook chicken for about 15 minutes. Use a digital thermometer to check that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 F (74 C).<\/p>\n
Using tongs, remove chicken thighs to a clean cutting board. Let cool slightly and chop into bite-size pieces. Return chopped chicken with noodles, peas, cheese and basil to broth; cook for about 5 minutes or until noodles are tender. Add a splash of hot sauce to each bowl if desired.<\/p>\n
Tips: You can portion leftover soup into individual servings for easy meals that are ready to go. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days or freezer for up to 4 months.<\/p>\n
